I love grocery shopping. By myself. So this morning I dropped my daughter off at preschool and ran down to the grocery store for a few things. As I was perusing the bulk grains I suddenly realized that The Spice Girls were playing over the PA system. I’m not sure why but this struck me as absolutely hilarious. There was something about the idea of seeing all of the little, old ladies scooting around the store to the tune of “If you wanna be my lover you gotta get with my friends…” that was, to me, unbelievably funny. I tried very, very hard not to laugh but was fully in tears by the time I made it to the check-stand. I tried to explain to the woman who was scanning my groceries but she clearly didn’t see the humor. Once I got to my car I realized that my dress was on inside out. I wonder if this, paired with my bedhead, slippers, and fist full of coupons made her think I was mentally ill? Whatever, it was still hilarious…
LOL – I love this!! Mentally ill? Normal is a sliding scale.
And thank God for that!
Were you at Whole Foods? Whole Foods has an amazingly good soundtrack for some reason and I one day found myself bopping ( and I mean literally bopping) through the produce section singing 80 rock arena anthems.
No, I was at QFC in Seattle. I’ll have to check out the Whole Foods thing! I don’t know why but I absolutely lose it when there is any sort of risque song on in the grocery store. I want to go and put cotton balls in all of the elderly people’s ears!
This is funny to me on many levels. One, I can totally picture you trying to get the checker to understand the nature of this humor; Two, I remember your brother being kind of obsessed with that song and all things Spice.
Don’t lie, you knew all of the words and kind of sang along, right? Tell me it runs in the family.
Oh, I know every word
and
I saw the movie. In the theater!
That is so funny!I would have been laughing too..in fact I’m laughing hysterically just picturing it! Stopping by from SITS…you are so funny!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who goes to the grocery store with bedhead and my clothes on inside out.
