Subtleties

Walmart check-out lady #1: (to Charley, as she's ringing up our items) "Hi sweetie. Are you helping your mommy shop today?"

Charley: "Yes . . . " (points to the item in the woman's hand) . . . "My mommy was all out of pads, so we had to buy some more."

Walmart check-out lady #1 and #2 burst out laughing, while Walmart lady #1 simultaneously rings up my maxi pads.

Danielle: (to Charley) "I guess it's a good thing we have two nice ladies checking us out today instead of boys."

Walmart check-out lady #2: (still laughing) "Very true! Boy, kids sure do say the darnedest things!"

Danielle: "Yes . . . yes they do."

I might give it a few days before I go back to Walmart again.
