Never Thought I Would Hear This...

Before anyone gets their panties in a wad I want to say no this isn't what you think it could be. No adoption news, no news on where we're moving either.

As I was saying it's not something you expect to hear period let alone hear while you're standing in line at the grocery store.


On the menu tonight is taco salad. I needed shredded cheese, sour cream and lettuce. Before I went to pick up Eriks at karate camp I figured it would be much easier for me to just run into the store alone. No dragging a preschooler in and out of the car unnecessarily.

So I walk up to the check out and put my 3 items on the belt when I hear, "He was supposed to do 10 yrs in jail but only did 2." What??? This was coming from the cashier. I guess she knew the guy and the gal that were checking out. Then I hear the guy say this, "Yeah I was supposed to do only 2 as well but I got into a fight on the way to visit my parole officer..." and then I heard something about 3 - 5 yrs. My first thought was nice. Didn't expect to hear stories about jail time being swapped at the grocery store. As I looked at the guy I saw the tattoo on his neck and various other things about him I thought to myself, yeah he looks like a criminal.

Good 'ol redneck country.
