which elderly person would you want to be?

This evening was 10% Tuesday which occurs on the first Tuesday of each calendar month.  My dh considers 10% Tuesday as almost a religious experience.

This evening my dh raced off with the cellphone and the school supply list to Walmart to purchase the majority of the girls' school supplies.  He phoned me to consult regarding the supplies.  Frequently.  After an hour of regular phone calls, the phone rang again.  Presuming it was my dh who had just phoned minutes earlier, I answered the phone in a serious tone without the typical "hello" greeting:

"If you phone again, I'm going to contact the police and tell them that you are harassing me".

The other end of the line was silent.  I then heard my dh's elderly mother (in her 80s) hesitantly reply, "Uh, Maureen?  Are you still bringing the girls over tomorrow"?

My strapping late 40s year old dh returned home from shopping at Walmart & Safeway.  He had placed a 10 kg bag of flour on the bottom of the cart to wheel it to the cashier.  When he arrived at the cashier, he mentioned that he had the flour in the bottom of the cart and expected that she'd have some sort of wireless scanner to scan the price in or that she'd just code it to determine the price owed.  Instead, the 20-something (female) cashier walked around the counter to the cart, removed the flour and placed it on the counter to scan it.  My dh embarrassedly said to the effect, "if I had known that you needed it on the cashier stand, I would have picked it up for you!" to which she replied, "It's okay.  It wasn't heavy".
