Don't you hate it when people steal your shopping cart? You would expect adults to be a little less lazy than that but maybe like a Chinese saying goes: sam shui ding bah sup which we like to say with a disappointed shake of the head meaning 3 year old will determine 80 year old. Anyways, this was in the summer when my parents went to Kroger's to purchase the last good watermelons of the season. And of course being the Chinese that we are, we are selective and picky - I guess Chinese standards are high not only of their students but also of their vegetables and fruits. Although I find it ironic that standards become very murky in food regulation and manufacturing guidelines. Ethics or money. That aside, they pick this gorgeous watermelon (at least so the 30 minutes of picking it claims) and then this middle aged Chinese lady walks past nonchalantly and starts shopping ... with my parents' cart that is. Unknowingly innocently of course - right.
But here's the joke on her. She picks out this gorgeous head of lettuce and walks away from the cart.to continue her perusal. Parents come back and Dad doesn't like the lady in one glace, gets pissed. *insert cartoon imagination* tosses the lettuce into the sushi department and drives the cart out of sight. The expression was priceless on the lady. Funny thing was there were other carts with watermelons in them so she was really confused what just happened to the cart she stole. So she lost her beautiful head of lettuce, our watermelon and another good 20 minutes to pick out another lettuce and 10 minutes for the watermelon. I jest of course.
