A Failure To Communicate

Posted on | September 10, 2011 | No Comments

I was wandering the aisles of a local dollar store, looking for parts for projects I never have time to finish 😉 Also shopping that day were a woman and her…grandchild? Seemed like a big age difference, but I am guessing.

This is how their visit went:

*crash*
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch nuthin?”
“yaa”

A few more steps, *crunch*
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch nuthin?”
“yaa”

A bit farther, *crinkle*
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch nuthin?”
“yaa”

Over and over, all around the store. Step, step, step – *crinkle, crunch, crash, boom*
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch nuthin?”
“yaa”
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch nuthin?”
“yaa”
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch nuthin?”
“yaa”
“Didn’t I tell you not to touch nuthin?”
“yaa”

I wanted to go up to her and say, “Lady, he clearly knows you said it – perhaps you should explain what it MEANS!”
