My son Jason and I took a trip to the Poconos to see the place we would be living. Of course we explored the area and the various stores in the quaint towns. Jason was 2 years old and the cutest dark haired, brown-eyed boy I ever laid eyes on. A friend of mine had to watch him just for a moment while I went into the other part of the store to shop....for candles of course. Jason proceded his business in the old fashioned candy store that had barrels of candies bought by the pound.

I shopped in a trance, I mean hundreds of candles and aromas of childhood and great memories from the past filled the air. I did not think I was taking that long but I get mesmerized...Ooops. I finally meet up with the devious duo and to my surprised, I gasp outloud. Jason is has blue drool coming down both sides of his mouth and cheeks packed with gum like a squirrel. His pockets are full in his pants and coat, his hands are full.

What should I do, what should I do?? I walk him over to the counter and tell the clerk his weight. She puts him on the scale and deducts it from the total, then charges me for the difference. I wanted to crawl out of there and never return.......that never happened, they had my favorite candles there after all. Jason was named "The Candy Man"!!>>Believe51

Enough time has passed that I have another one to share!!!

I wear a prostetic and I have all the expensive mastectomy
bras and accessories ... but I usually just pop the thing into
a sports bra because it's faster and easier.

I went down to our train station to meet an old friend who was
traveling through town ... had to get up real early ... it was 40
below ....

I had slept in one of my old, stretched sports bras and didn't have
time to change it .... popped the fake boob in and went to see my
old buddy ... had a nice 20 minute visit with her and then headed to
the grocery store ... as I was walking into the store I could feel the
boob sliding down ... it had come out the bottom of the bra because
the elastic was all stretched ... I was at the front of the store where
the carts are ... I put my hand on my stomach to stop it from falling
right out and decided to go back to my car in the parking lot ... I
leaned inside the card and pulled the boob out the bottom of my parka

Now what to do with it??? I couldn't leave this big thing that looks like
a boneless/skinless chicken breast sitting on the car seat ... looked around
and saw that my hubby had left one of his knitted ski hats in the back
seat .. so I put the boob inside the hat .. now it looked some someone's
head was in the back seat but it was better than a naked boob.

I went back in and did my shopping .... got home with the groceries and
carried them in along with my boob in a touque.
