Scene: Our local grocery market.
Action:  Me buying groceries. (duh.)

After ringing up my 2 cartons of ice cream, 1 box of Popsicles, 2 cans of pumpkin puree, 2 boxes of Cream of Wheat, 4 bags of marshmallows, 1 bag of Rice Crispies, 2 bags of apples and 5 pounds of carrots, the cashier says to me, "So do you have horses?"

Me: (insert really confused face)  "What? Horses?"

Cashier: "I thought maybe you were buying all those apples and carrots for horses."

Me:  "Um, no.  No horses.  Just a lot of kids.  Kids that eat like horses."  (har de har har)

Cashier:  "I never knew kids that ate so healthy."

Me:  (silently in my head) "Am I in the Twilight Zone?  Am I being Punked?  Am I on Candid Camera?  Did she not just scan the ice cream, Popsicles, and FOUR bags of marshmallows?"

Me: (out loud this time)  "Oh well, you know kids!
