“You’re Gonna Be Pissed,” He Said to the Grand Grocery Overlord.

I went way overboard and got carried away buying groceries tonight.  There were so many things I needed. I also went grocery shopping on an mostly empty stomach and was hungry which is always a big no-no.  I finally put my last item in my cart which was a quart of Florida’s Natural grapefruit juice. I then headed to the magazine aisle where my father was reading magazines. “Pops,” I said. “I am ready to check out.” The total came out to be $117.98 cents when my target was $85 bucks.  I about freaked, but didn’t show it.  Surprisingly, my father didn’t say a word and sveltely swiped the debit card. “Just buy less next week,” was all my father told me as we walked to our respective cars. Driving Mrs. Martha… Mom called me this afternoon wanting me to drive her to the bookstore down in Auburn tomorrow at 10am.  The books she ordered over the phone had arrived. This gives me the opportunity to happily go window shopping at Best Buy. We are also going to Applebee’s for lunch. I want the house sirloin. If I were a betting man then the odds are favorable for us eating dessert at Sonic after Applebee’s.
