Dear Stella,
Mama's hormones were still whacky well into the second trimester! She was just so sensitive about everything! Poor papa!
Here’s a funny story:
mama and papa took a trip to the Castleton Mall to shop for some summer dresses that mama could wear while pregnant. One particular store had a rack of dresses that had a sign hanging on the front that said "Dresses $19.99" and one of the sales associates said everything in the store was "Buy One Get One Half Off." Mama was really happy about that deal, because she didn’t really feel like spending more than $20 per dress.
Mama found two really cute dresses, but when the cashier rang everything up she said the total came out to close to $50 (when it should have been just a little over $30 with tax!) The line was already long, and papa didn't want to wait and said just to get them and not worry about it. Mama was mad because she would have bought some other dresses she saw at another store if she wanted to spend more than $20 per dress, so that was what was most annoying.
Mama told the cashier that she was pretty sure she saw something that said $19.99, but the cashier insisted that they were each $26.50 before tax. Mama and papa went ahead and paid for the dresses, but mama wanted to get to the bottom of it. She went over to the rack of dresses and there it was...the sign that said "Dresses $19.99!" Mama showed the sign to the cashier and all she said was, "Oh, sorry. We changed the sale today, and someone must've forgotten to take that down." Wow, was that bad customer service! She should have honored the sale price on the sign AND the buy one get one half off deal! Even worse, she was just going to leave the sign hanging there if mama didn’t hand it to her!
The part of the story where mama’s hormones were whacky is coming up…
After mama and papa left the mall, they stopped at a drive through of mommy’s favorite sandwich shop drive through to get dinner. Papa is very picky and only gets turkey on his sandwich, so he ordered a “Turkey Slim” and mama got her favorite, the “Beach Club.” As they started to drive away, they noticed that papa’s sandwich had all the toppings on it, so they had to turn around and go back. Mama got excited because she thought she just scored an extra sandwich!
Mama couldn’t believe it. The drive through cashier asked for the sandwich back! Anywhere else would have just let you keep the sandwich! Here’s the funny part…
Mama thought that the cashier purposely messed up the order so that they would have to come back and return it so the cashier could eat it! Silly, huh?
Mama blamed her irrational thoughts on the back to back instances of bad service, but deep down she knew it was still her whacky hormones!
Love,
Mama & Papa
