its been a long day...

so its been a pretty long day.  one straight out of hell.  like no other.  i wont go into details but this afternoon at work was horrible.  so anyway, when stu and i got home this evening after going to the store (for milk and a banana slicer--im super excited to cut bananas tomorrow!), we both pretty much just put on our pajamas and headed for the couch.  we were watching the simpsons and just sitting around and relaxing when all of the sudden there was a knock on our door.  not expecting anyone, i answered it.  it was a small woman with her daughter.  

"would you like to buy a tamale for two dollars?" asks the daughter

"um...im sorry, i dont have any cash," i answer.  which is true.  i gave stu my last dollar for buying the banana slicer earlier at safeway.
 
"how about next week?"

"um...maybe..."

"okay,"

all the sudden stu jumps off the couch saying, "i have some cash,"as he runs for his wallet.  he is in his robe so he just hands the money to me and stays out of view as i pass the cash over.

"do you have a plate?" asks the girl.  i send stu running to the kitchen.  he comes back and we get our tamale and i close the door.  i hand the plate to stu.

his response: "what?!  i thought they were selling girl scout cookies!"

my response: "what did you think the plate was for?"



there is now a tamale sitting on our counter which no one is going to eat.

Hah! Great story. Sorry Stu that you didn't get any girl scout cookies. Sorry Jacque that your afternoon was bad. I bet the tamale tastes pretty good...but I haven't seen it, so I can't be sure. :P
