They’re Magically Delicious!

One of the reason I love my job is that it allows me to run my errands during the week. This saves me a lot of time in looking for parking and standing in lines.
However, yesterday I headed over to COSTCO and was surprised at how many people were there. Why was it so busy on a Wednesday morning? Don’t these people work? They can’t all be flight attendants!
While I stood in a long line waiting to pay, I started to get bored. So, I did what most people would do in this situation – I looked around to see what other people were buying.
There was a couple in the next line with a flat bed trolley filled with cases and cases of water, juice, soft drinks, and napkins. I figured they must own some sort of restaurant or store. Behind them were two men. In their cart was a rotisserie chicken, a huge Caesar salad, a bottle of wine, and a DVD. I guess they’ll be having a quiet evening at home.
When I looked on the other side of me, I was surprised to see a lady looking at my cart. What did I have? Three gallon-sized jugs of milk (Baby Bug can drink a gallon in three days!) and 4 large bulk sized boxes of Lucky Charms. By the look on this lady’s face, I could tell she wasn’t looking at the milk.
When our eyes met, she said (I’m not kidding!), “You really shouldn’t feed your kids that cereal. It has too much sugar.” I looked at her and said sweetly, “Oh, the cereal is not for the kids. It’s for me.” I guess she didn’t know what else to say so she turned away.
I can’t help it if I love Lucky Charms. It’s my favorite cereal and I have to have a bowl of it every night before I go to sleep. Strange, huh?
What’s your favorite cereal?

You should have said “I’m actually buying these to bring to my friend who is in the hospital dying of terminal cancer and it was the one food she said she had to have before she passed away so I came down to get her some, but thank you for your concern”
That is hilarious, I can’t believe that woman could not control herself & just felt obligated to save your kids from the sugar devil!
The funniest shopping cart viewing I ever had was in a drug store that had changed ownership. Because of this, they were selling the old store brand products at a very reduced rate to clean out the stock for the new store brand. When I went to go check out, there were two women each with a shopping cart filled to the brim with disposable douches!
I could not imagine what they were going to do with them…give them to a women’s shelter to the women who dont’ know they are not the best for feminine health? A whorehouse? Themselves?
I just bought Lucky Charms. They are so totally for me, but I do pon it off to my kids. But I buy the Malt0meal brand. I find it just as good!! Too funny, great response to that lady!!
LOL I love it….
my favorite is Cinnamon toast crunch. I eat cereal for dinner quite often. yummo!
This made me laugh … and Lucky Charms is a classic.
I have to confess to checking out the next cart in line, but it’s across the line for me to comment.
Anyway, I have a weakness for peanut butter Cap’n Crunch and all its generic counterparts. I also like the simple taste of corn and rice chex.
