To: a fool in paradise; Senator Pardek

Grocery stores can be dangerous. When I first spent time in the south their accents were so heavy (to my ears) I had a hard time understanding what people were saying.

At the grocery store a “heavy set” woman was ringing up my groceries and she looked directly at me and said, “Do you want to boogie?” I could feel my face get very red and remembering what my mother had told me to say when someone asked me an embarrassing question I replied “I couldn’t say.”

The big woman glowered at me and demanded rather loudly, “ Do you wanna boogie?” All kinds of thoughts went through my head but I again replied, “Nothing personal but I really couldn’t say.”

Finally the boy bagging the groceries said, “She wants to know if you want a BUGGY.” I had no idea what a buggy was. It turns out she was asking me if I wanted a shopping cart.

You should see the looks I get at work when I ask someone to “do me a solid”.
