So if you don't know, I work for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board in one of their distribution locations. (Yeah, it's a bunch o' bullshit fancy talk for bein' a part-time bottle jockey at a liquor store but I didn't create the title)
Today a woman came in with two young girls, probably about 10 or so who she told to stay at the front of the store and wait for her.
Well the girls were looking at the signs for various sections of the store and one yelled "Mommy, what's the difference between domestic wine, imported wine and desert....dessert.....desert.......dess'
The mom cut in with "Domestic wine is from here and imported wine is from other countries. And dessert wine is swee.."
The girl (let's call her Jane) interupts with "But who CARES????"
In between laughter I shouted, "I agree! You got a smart kid there maam."
Mom came up to the counter with a bottle of wine and swiped her debit card. While she was putting her wallet away and getting her things together, a man came up behind her in line and put a bottle of cheap, shitty vodka on the counter. A second later, Jane runs up to her mom. She looked at me and noticed I was wearing an "urban camo" pattern tie and told me that she liked it. I flashed her a smile and said thanks and went back to bagging. That's when she sees the vodka on the counter:
"I didn't know you drank liquor mom."
"I don't honey, I only drink wine."
"Oh, so that makes you different from daddy."
(insert my hysterical laughter)
Mom: "Quiet honny, you're embarrasing me."
Jane (sensing that she's got an audience and is annoying Mom): "I was talking to my friend who stayed over last night and she said 'What's a hangover' and I said 'That's what made my dad so grumpy in the morning.'"
I almost pissed myself I was laughing so hard at this girl.
Is it wrong to want to hang out with a pre-teen girl?![]()
