Fantasy

I have a mean fantasy where I tell the guy who works at the co-op to just save it. 

 A few years back, I accidentally bought a $17 watermelon (while they were in season!). Many of you will remember this, because this happening was at the top of my Sh*& list for quite some time.

Anyway. Individual kept trying to make jokes about it after I wanted my money back. 

Since that time, I have unsuccessfully tried to avoid him whilst shopping. He nearly always says, “I haven’t seen you in awhile!” Thats co-opien for “Hey, have you been shopping at Wal-mart? Have you?! We both know that you have.” 

Most recently, I ducked into the store and quickly selected my Kale, beets, and then my bi-weekly helping of guilt. 

“Ah, I haven’t seen you in awhile!” or perhaps it was, “Hello stranger!” 

In my mind I say, 

“No.”

Fake puzzled, he might say something like, “Pardon?” or “Excuse me?”

“No,” I’d continue, “No to this.” And I’d gesture to the space in-between us.

I wouldn’t give an explanation or any manner of polite decline. I just wouldn’t have to say anything at all after that. He could just be left wondering about it. 

What did she mean by that?

Who knows, maybe he could write about it on his blog.
