Riptides Seafood
Beep, beep, beep went the items being scanned at the Wal-Mart register. The cashier looked tired so I tried talking to her.
"How was your Christmas?"
"Oh it was fine," she said surprised that I had spoken to her.
As I looked at my items being scanned I suddenly was embarrassed. How old was I really? According to the belt line-very old. There laid Oil of Olay Anti-Aging cream, push up bras and diet bread. Gone are the days of youthful purchases, I guess. She started to scan my wine and I said jokingly, " Are you going to card me? Because if you did, that would be awesome!"
She looked at me kind of funny and said one word,"Smile."
So I did and she scanned my bottle without asking for my license.
"Why did you ask me to smile?" I now was apprehensive and nervous.
"Because I saw your crows feet."
I laughed...mostly because I was shocked she said that. "Hence the Oil of Olay products I just bought."
"But what do you do, she said? You live and go on, don't you?"
After I left the store and drove home, I decided not to be mad. It's true. I do have crows feet but that's because I've birthed two kids. My lines tell others I've lived a full life. They tell others I've experienced every type of emotion. And I wear them proud.
Needless to say, my 29th was awesome. I went to Riptides Seafood with my family and mom and dad. And then the next day, The Hubs and I got to pretend we were in our early twenties again-we visited two wineries and had way to much fun ;)
