So I have had a couple of interesting experiences at Walmart these last few weeks and I thought I would share...
About 2 weeks ago I had to run to the store to get something (I honestly can't remember what it was), it was night time so I left Brad at home with the kids and went by myself. I was in and out pretty quickly (it is AMAZING how fast I can accomplish things when I have no kids). As I was walking out the doors to to parking lot I was going through the second set of doors and a man, who looked to be in his late 40's early 50's, was approaching me. He said something to me but I couldn't hear him because there is this really loud fan above the door. I thought he was maybe asking for directions or something because he was obviously talking to me and he looked like it was important. So I said to him, "I'm sorry, what was that?" and these were his EXACT words:
"I see a pretty lady and I gotta ask if she's single."
WHAT!!! Are you kidding me? I said "Me?! No!" He said "Are you married?" (like maybe if I wasn't married he still had a shot or something?) I said "yeah married with three kids!" and he said "oh well, congratulations. You have a nice evening."
Now this got me to thinking. I'm not sure if I should take this incident as an insult or a compliment. On one had SOMEONE in this world thinks I am pretty besides my husband and maybe my mom. Which is always a good feeling. However the flip side is this dirty old man who is obviously MUCH older than me actually thought that, had i been single, he had a chance. That I was some how in his league. Ouch, shot to the pride. Apparently that is my demographic now, lonley middle aged men. That's what i get for wearing makeup to walmart I guess. I need to blend in more!
The other thing happened just the other day. This has less to do with Walmart, and more to do with my crazy son Ky, but we were at walmart none the less. I was doing my grocery shopping there, which I actually try NOT to do because it is such a pain. We were almost finished so I have just about had it with my 3 children arguing, running around, tossing boxes on the ground, and ramming my cart into displays. So needless to say I am trying to be fast. I was walking down my last isle fairly quickly and Ky is sauntering behind touching everything he possibly can. I walk past a man leaning over to look at something. Two seconds later I hear him say "OH! Hello!" I turn around and he is looking at Ky. I this point I don't know what Ky has done but I am sure it is something so I just say out of habit "sorry..." and he says half smiling "he just wacked me in the butt!" Then I really apologized and I scolded Ky and quickly moved on! This poor man was minding his own business but I guess his bum was to much for Ky to resist. I didn't laugh about it then, I was to embarrassed, and just wanted to get the heck out of the store, but on the way home I just busted out laughing. Only Ky would spank a stranger in the butt at the grocery store. Luckily the man was very gracious about it and decided not to press charges.
Maybe I should stay away from walmart for awhile.

Take heart -- my sister's kid has been known to bite someone's butt. Seriously. Teeth-derriere contact.
I have been hit on at Walmart despite obvious baby bumps and wedding rings. It's like the twilight zone... a strange, discount, flourescently lighted twilight zone.
ha ha ha! Seriously Dest! That's so funny! The dirty old man story can happen anywhere...you have to keep an eye out and just ignore them! It's happened to me once or twice too! I think they're a little too confident! I'm sure you were way out of his league. And your hubby and mom are definitely NOT the only people who think you're pretty! You're a hottie, get used to it!
I love the old guy story! Right after I had Olivia and feeling tired, smelly from baby barf, and fat I was at Wal Mart and a guy told me I should do commercials for hot moms. I said wow thank you so much. I ran home and told Jason. He just laughed. The best part was we were living in Cali at the time and he was white. Our wal mart was like little mexico. It always feels good to know someone thinks you're pretty. Even if they are old, dirty, never in a million years men.
Hey guys! You have the custest family! I understand not brining your kids to the reunion, but they are so cute! Hopefully your next trip to Wal-Mart will be uneventful!
Only at Walmart! Awesome. :) My kids haven't done that but they have hid from me and Walmart had to shut thier doors for an Amber Alert. Embarassing, but better safe than sorry huh?
You know what? Even if it was a gross old man; it always feels nice to be told you are pretty. :)
Ky is so funny. I don't know how you do all that you do with three small boys. I admire you.
Trent just showed me a bunch of mission videos of everyone that Ruggles had posted. Oh man, were they ever hilarious! Brad is in one or two. They all look like little kids...oh yeah, they WERE!
All I have to say is work it girl, old or not if you are hot you are hot!!
