Van before Kroger:
Van after Kroger:
I feel like I have exposed Van to the real world after our first joint trip to the grocery store. (Yes I have managed to bypass this scenario for almost 4 months...) I'll be the first to admit Kroger can be a scary place...lots of interesting people/things going on there. But their prices are cheap and it ends up being worth the tolerance.
I knew something freakish would happen, but we made it almost out the door before I was proven to be correct. A nice employee offered to help me unload groceries from the cart onto the conveyor belt. I noticed she was missing some teeth and really wanted to get up in Van's face (he was in the bjorn and I could use the help!) so I welcomed her efforts.
The lady asked what his name was, displaying a slightly frightening grin, and when I replied "Van"...she completely lit up with excitement...yanked her ENTIRE ARM out of her Kroger smock and shirt...revealing a little too much....in order to show me a not-too-pretty tatoo of "Van" on a banner across her bicep.
She proceeded to grin and shout "See Van!! I knew my love would arrive one day!!"
Then she looked at me, grimaced, and explained "Don't worry--I'm kiddin'--its for my ex".
Wow Van--what a relief.
