OOhhh, maybe I shouldn't have named the post that...no, I'm not pregnant! Before I write about this disturbing instance, I'd like to give a small preface. I hate mice. I hate rats. I can't STAND them. I think there is nothing cute about them. They are gross with their nasty long tails everywhere. I'm a big Harry Potter fan, but when I watch the movies, I cover my eyes when they show "Scabbers". I loved the book "A Book of a Thousand Days" by Shannon Hale, but was nauseated through most of the beginning. Heck, even watching Ratatouille makes my stomach churn a bit, if we're being honest. So, a couple weeks ago I took all 3 kids to the local grocery store a couple blocks away to run in and get the 3 or 4 items I needed to make dinner. We were making great progress, heading to the dairy section to grab Ethan's Vit D milk when 2 girls that were approaching us caught my attention. I saw something moving around and just as Sydney was spitting out the words, "Mom, don't look over there.....", I saw them. Yes, them. One of the girls was casually doing her shopping with TWO, not one...TWO rats crawling all over her shoulders. One was white, the other black and white. I literally wanted to vomit. I quickly veered off to an uncharted aisle...I think it was the ethnic aisle, and I wasn't planning on making enchiladas or chow mein. Anyway, we hurried faster than any other visit to the store that particular day. Just as we were ready to go to the register, sweet Sydney warned me again and told me not to go that way quite yet! We waited until the coast was clear and paid for our things. When the cashier asked me how I was, this was my response, "Ummm, I'm better now that rat girl is gone!"
So, what kind of grocery store allows RODENTS ??? I don't care if they are "pets" crawling all over someone. Oh, it's been hard for me to erase the images from my mind, which is why it has taken me so long to write about it. Those tails just whipping around her neck and hair!!!!AAAHHHHH! SO GNARLY! Ask me if I've been back to that store...go ahead, try to figure it out on your own! Ha!
