So, what is it about the nature of people? It’s Christmas Eve and we are on our way home from church and suddenly realize that the stores will probably be closed tomorrow - after all - it’s Christmas. So we frantically try to come up with a grocery list just in case there’s something we need that can’t wait until Saturday.
me: “hmmm, I think we need some bread, but of course, we do have those 3 dozen dinner rolls you bought for dinner Saturday…..maybe a little overkill, but at least we have bread of some kind”
husband: “gee I’d really like some Hi Ho crackers (aka Ritz crackers for those of you younger than 50:) tomorrow for lunch….”
me: “Well we better hurry, they’re probably going to close early on Christmas Eve.”
Arrive at Raleys - closed. Zip over to the “new” Shop Smart - closed.
husband: “How about Rays?”
me: “They’re clear over on the other side of town!”
That apparently was translated as - “you better drive faster to get there quicker”
Screech into the Ray’s parking lot - closed.
OMG!! We can’t buy crackers until Saturday!!! Oh no - no crackers for lunch tomorrow! Uhg! Christmas is ruined!
hee hee! Merry Christmas and may your home be filled with good cheer and Ritz crackers:)
