IM HEATED RIGHT NOW!!
I NEED TO VENT!!!!!
So I went to Walmart to get some stuff with my wife while the kids were at soccer. I noticed this lady was staring at me in the same aisle I was in. No big deal. I moved to the next aisle while my wife continued and here she comes. Again... STARING! So now I'm like, "What the heck is her problem?!" I finish up my shopping and head to the cashier ahead of my wife cause noew I have the heeby jeebies.
Guess who is there ahead of me? Right. The staring lady! She turns around and starts staring at me again. So I start playing with my phone because at this point it's getting weird. Super uncomfortable!Finally she says, "I want to apologize for staring at you, but I was actually staring at the girl you were with. She looks just like my daughter who passed away." I thought to myself, "What a beautiful daughter you had. It makes sense now."
I felt kind of bad for her thinking she was a weirdo and said, "Sorry for your loss." She says, "Thank you...but I have a favor to ask. I know it's weird and I'll understand if you don't want to, but can I ask your girl for a hug when she catches up to you? I said she was free to ask and sure enough my wife arrives, throws gum in my basket. She looks at me sensing my weirdness and says, WHAT!
I briefly relayed the ladys situation and gestured to my wife that she should hug the strange stranger lady. As she bends forward I heard the older lady say quietly to my girl. and say 'Bye Mama"?
Inside I was like HECK NO this is a crazy lady, but I know people have different ways of getting over a loss. She smiled, and thanked my wife, then me. which I thought weird, but what wasn't on this trip to Walmart. She wimpers as she pushes her cart away.
The cashier rings up my wife and my stuff and the total comes out to $100.87 and I'm like, Hold up. Wejust bought a few things and Gum and I knew it should have been like $20.
The cashier then tells me that my total was included with my mom's. She said, "Your mom said you were paying for her stuff along with your things. I told her that that woman was NOT my mom. She said, "Well I saw you hug her and heard you call her mama." I can't believe this!
My wife flew out of the store looking for this awful woman, ready to drag her back in the store by her hair!!! I see her loading up her car and my wife started running towards her. She saw me and jumped in her car so fast. I got to her just as she was putting her leg in, and I started pulling her leg. She struggled but I kept pulling until her wooden leg popped off right in my hands!! Im thinking,Is this really happening right now?! I have an appendage in my hands.
So I dropped the wooden leg and grabbed her other leg and started pulling...
Just like I'm pulling yours right now! If I got you good, feel free to pass it on.
