missile strike

I just went to buy a sandwich. I started rummaging around my bag for my wallet. It’s somewhere at the bottom of this huge tardis like thing I carry my life around in, and when I yank out my wallet, I accidentally FLING a TAMPON at the Wishbone guy. In slow motion I watched it fly from my bag and smack him in the neck all while he braces for it like a ball coming toward him and actually tries to bat it away.

I’m so completely embarrassed and the only thing that comes to mind to say is, ‘I’m SO SORRY, I don’t even know why it’s in there, I don’t even have my period!’ which probably just made it worse judging by the look on his face. He then hands the tampon back to me saying, ‘Um, do you want this back?’

The small line of people are standing behind me clutching their wraps and sandwiches and staring at me while I decide whether or not I want my tampon missile back. ‘No really. Please just throw it away,’ and he complies, then spends the next 20 seconds searching around for a rubbish bin. When he can’t find one, he rests the tampon atop his cash register where it sits while he takes my money.

I can never buy anything from there ever again.

    My boys were about 3 and 6 years and were playing outside . A stock agent and the bank manager arrived and one of them said to me… “um… you may want to check on what your boys are actually doing there’. When I went out I wasmortified… They had a box of tampons and were dipping them in a big puddle and watching them swell up… a whole 32 pack was strewn around them in the mud! “these are cool Mum,” said Douglas enthusiastically..”. can we buy some more? “Bet they wouldn’t want to be reminded of that now!

    ZMan, don’t you just wish you’d prepared by drawing a cute face on it & maybe sticking on some fairy wings? Like the dentists used to do with (whatever TF they used to do that with that looked just like tampons).
