Time just seems to rush by, more so in the month of May since it seems to be non-stop for us year after year. It is just such a busy time. So, here we are with a rather busy weekend. We had Joey's birthday party on Saturday and then switched gears so we could have Jesse's graduation party on Sunday.
This switched involved a fast trip to Costco and then hopefully fast trip (haha) to Wal-Mart. Now mind you, this was at 6PM on a Saturday night...no such thing as fast. McClain had the check list and he was crossing things off as we put them in the cart. It was going really well...that should have been our first warning...LOL.
As we were pushing through, the twelve pack of Lemon Lime soda fell off the cart and broke open. No big problem really, we just gathered them back up and I put the box in the cart. being extra careful.
Merrill and LisaMarie were gathering up the last of what we needed and we all met up at the check out. Now, you have to really think about this as you read it...:o) We were all unloading. The check out lanes were crowed as can only happen in Walmart. The checker is ringing up things. McClain bends over and unloads the very last 12 pack of root beer in the store...HIS 12 pack of root beer. As he lifts it up almost to the conveyor belt, the box just falls apart. The cans go everywhere. But the absolute best part, the funniest part is three of those little cans burst open and just started spewing root beer everywhere. I am talking on the next cashier, the candy bars, the items that they want you to buy as you are checking out. McClain is trying to stop it, I am laughing and feeling bad all at once.
McClain is nearly in tears saying this is the worst thing that has ever happened to him in his entire life. Our cashier is rather mad but she keeps trying to ring us out. Root beer is dripping on everything. It was a total mess. The poor lady who had to clean it up did not even know where to start. She also did not look to happy with us or the mess we had just created.
The family behind us is laughing. The teenage girl states that this exact same thing happened with her twin brothers who by the way are 8 years old also. She tell us where it happened in the clothing aisle. It did little to help McClain but it made Merrill and I feel a little better while standing in root beer.
So there you have it. It really did happen at Wal-Mart.
