Wednesday Wild Card 12.21

So, yesterday I had to run to Fred Meyer for a few last minute baking items. (They were out of mint extract. Who runs out of peppermint flavoring right before Christmas?) Anyway, I grabbed my items and got in the Express Lane. The tall, dark and handsome man in front of me (I’m a reporter— a trained observer!) had only one item: a super size box of Kotex Maxi Pads.

I tried not to make eye contact with him, but he smiled nicely at me, not at all embarrassed, paid for his item and left. I wish I would have told him what I was thinking: “You, sir, are totally awesome and a Real Man.”

Here’s your wild card. Have you ever made a purchase that embarrassed you?
