I had one of those "what in the world do I do?" moments today.... Let me tell you about it...
I was in line at Wal-mart... ( my first trip in like 2 weeks by the way.) when I noticed that the buggy in front of me had 2 packs of bottled water on the bottom. She had all of her items on the counter to check out... The cashier scanned and scanned, but the lady never got the water...
This was going on in my head while I watched.... O gosh... that lady forgot to put her water up...She is busy tending her kid and forgot... I think I should tell her.... No, she will be mad at me for bringing it to her attention... No she will be offended because she thinks that I think that she is trying to steal it.... O no the cashier is almost done.......
Then my thoughts changed.... doing whats right isn't easy.... but its right... I could her Martina McBride singing... DO IT ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of now where the words jumped out of my mouth.... "Ma'am, don't forget your water." I felt like an idiot when she said "O I have already got it, My husband's a cop, I am not allowed to steal."
All that dilemma in my head and for what. I am glad I chose to do what I thought was the right thing... even if I did feel like an idiot!
After she said she couldn't steal because her husband was a cop I had this thought.... Since I am a teacher....does that mean that my wife will one day say in public that she can't be dumb because her husband is a teacher????
That's my day today... Hope you had a great Monday!

oooh, that was a hard one. And funny about your wife. LOL. Good job though on doing what's right.
You crack me up! As a mom with three kids... I would be thankful if for someone to say that! It's more likely that I missed it!
I guess since my husband leads outdoor activities I should know all about them.. BUT I don't! I think I'm better at being dumb! :)
You did the Right thing Son Her reply was very Dumb to me!!!Funny about your Future wife also!!!
