WHAT did you say?

Oh be careful little mouth what you say . . .

So, I was at the store checking out - I had gotten several really good deals and the checker and I had been bantering back and forth. The total came up and then she ran her magic wand over it and deleted 70% off most of it - big sale today. The Total was $27.20 and I began rooting around looking for two dimes.

Instead I realized I would need to use a quarter - one of my state quarters - from where I keep the change in my purse.

As I rifled through looking I said "hmmm gonna have to use one of my funky quarters."

The checker looked up quickly and said "WHAT did you say?"

I repeated myself, she grew red and apologized. She told me it would have been a first for her - to hear a customer use the "f" word while she was working. It was then my turn to become red-faced. I apologized and said I had never thought of it sounding like that, but that I would be more careful in the future. I have always called those quarters by that name. That is going to have to change.

Sooooooo - how has your Monday gone?
