"Excuse me, ma'am...where would I find baby aspirin?"
"You mean baby Tylenol?"
"No ma'am, baby aspirin. Low-dose, cherry flavored."
"You're not supposed to make a baby take aspirin, it's bad for them. I don't think they even make it anymore."
"Okay, well it's not for a baby, it's for my dog. She has arthritis, and a baby aspirin helps with the pain."
As I say this, behind her, I see pink-colored boxes of Bayer. I grab the box, which is clearly labeled "Bayer 'baby' aspirin". I show her. "See, baby aspirin."
"You ought to not give a baby that aspirin."
"It's still for my dog, ma'am. Vet recommended."
"It's bad for their brains."
"Okay, I've gotta go now."
better mind your business, grocery store lady. I have been listening to that Dixie Chicks album, and I am FIESTY!
p.s.~ Hot Bartender for the win!
