Daddysredhead -> RE: I Admit It I........ (12/23/2009 10:38:43 AM)

I admit that last night's venture to find one of Thing 2's gifts turned into "Sled Quest 2009."
I admit that after riding all over creation and calling several places, I finally found a place with 4 sleds.
I admit that I told the guy I was on my way.
I admit that Thing 2 said, "Did you tell him to hold it at the front and give him your name?"
I admit that I hadn't and called back, got a different guy, gave him my name and he said that one had just sold, but mine was at the front, with my name on it.
I admit that we got to the store, told the lady that we were there to get the sled, and pointed out the one with my name on it.
I admit that she grabbed the 3 sleds to her body as if someone were about to steal her child and said, "I'm afraid there's been a mix-up."
I admit that I told her that I had talked to [sales guy 1' name], then [sales guy 2's name] and that the post it clearly had my name on it, so what was the problem.
I admit that she got on the store intercom and paged the 2 guys to come to the front as there was a "situation" at the service desk.
I admit that Thing 2 looked at me and said, "Did you just cause a situation, Mom?"
I admit that I was [8|].
I admit that she had a death grip on the 3 remaining sleds, including the one with my name on it, as if I might go over the counter and bludgeon her.
I admit that sales guy 2 came to the front and said, "I just talked to you, and [sales guy 1] said he had promised a lady a sled as well, but didn't get her name."
I admit that I told him that I was both "his customer" and the other lady, but all I needed was one sled.
I admit that the "keeper of the sleds" asked me to produce photo ID in order to get custody of one sled.
I admit Thing 2 said, "Mom doesn't get carded for cigarettes or alcohol... cool that she's getting carded for a sled, wait till I tell my brother."
I admit that I stifled a snort for fear of not getting the aforementioned sled.
I admit that we finally bought one sled, after sales guy 2 tried to sell me all three of them by mistake. [&o]
I admit that I will have that lady at the counter stand sentry over anything I may have of value as she seems more reliable than an armoured truck.
I admit that Thing 2 got on the phone with Linea and Kali and said, "Guess what? My mom caused a "situation" at Sports Authority. Cool, huh?"
I admit that she revels in this stuff, which leads me to believe that there is a second generation of wickedness being groomed in her. *le sigh*
*sticky "e" key typo*
