I was standing in line at Lowe’s picking up a few household repair items, in a blustery rush as usual, distracted by my kid who keeps wandering away while I’m scrounging through my wallet to find my ATM card buried under a million crumpled receipts. The clerk asks me something and I realize that with all my distraction, I haven’t even made eye contact with her.
I look up with a smile, “Hmm? I’m sorry, what?”
“I said…how’s your cat?”
Oh my…think….think. Do I know this woman? Have we spoken before? Geez, how do I get so caught up that I don’t even know who I’m talking to!
“He’s fine…thanks for asking.”
She smiles , and after a close look at her… I don’t think I know this woman.
So I ask, “How did you know I had a cat?
She points at me, without a beat, “Your shirt.”
She points at me, without a beat, “Your shirt.”
I look down at my black t-shirt, which looks like a spent the morning cuddling with an angora rabbit.
“oh.”
So I learned two lessons that day
1) Never leave the house without looking in a mirror
2) Lowe’s hires comedians.
So glad to be able to share my revelations with all of you.

Love this Hollye.
ReplyDeleteHere is another lesson, remove dog leash from your purse when shopping.
ReplyDeleteI was at the vets with Mojo then decided to run into Marshalls
the girl asked if I worked at a vets office....probably because of
the leash and the fact that I was covered in dog hair.
My life on a vet visit day.
Is is possible to go or be anywhere without dog or cat hair if you are an owner? I think not and if so please share. Thanks. Hairy~Cuddle~Blog
