Steven and I went to the Derby Street Shoppes on Sunday. Specifically, we were there to visit Smith & Hawken to see about a thermometer for our deck. When we first entered the store we were chatting about something and I laughed. Hard. Mid-laugh, I turned around and was face to face with a woman pushing her small dog in one of those carriages made specifically for pooches. She and I made eye contact (I was still laughing from whatever Steven had said). It all happened in a flash, but I immediately knew that the woman thought I was laughing at her silly doggie carriage.
Now, normally I would laugh at a site such as this, but never on the outside. Or I would wait until I was safely alone and chuckle. Whatever, she must have known how silly she looked.
Fast forward a few minutes and Steven and I were at the register purchasing cedar planks. The woman who was ringing us up said to me 'I saw you laughing at that woman'. I was HORRIFIED! She totally busted me. But she didn't really, because I wasn't really laughing at the woman, but just like I thought, it looked like I was. I explained to her that it wasn't the case, but I'm certain she didn't believe me. Luckily, she thought the dog carriage was pretty ridiculous, too.
P.S. One cool thing about Smith & Hawken (besides all the cool outdoor gear) is that they store all of your purchases in their system, so if you lose a receipt they can look it up. I wish all stores did that. Receipts are stupid.
