I saw the most bizarre thing today at walmart. The lady in front of me and the cashier had the most warped and unnecessary dialog that I've heard from adults. The dialog sounded like the entire thing was acted out by children, who were pretending they were at a grocery store, saying what they thought adults would say at a cash register.
It went Something like this:
Lady: These paper towels are on sale for $1. I got them from the display over there, which said they were on sale for $1.
Guy (ringing up towels, sounding genuinely pleased): Yes, you're right. They are $1.
Lady: And these sponges are 73 cents each.
Guy (ringing up sponges and a scrunchie:) I will put the sponges in the bag with your scrunchie. That will be a good idea.
Lady (fumbling through her purse): I hope I have an extra dime if this goes ten cents over.
They proceeded to talk like this until he was done ringing things up. She then hands him a stack of coupons, and proceeds to tell him as he scans them, exactly what each coupon is for, down to the specifics of, "I get $1 discount, because I bought three of these." When they were done, they thanked each other for the pleasant conversation, both seeming genuinely pleased to have had it.
It was the most bizarre, weird, off-kilter synergy between people I've ever seen. I suppose it just goes to show, that God has sown beauty into all things. It's just not often enough that you see such interesting - yet crazy - intricacies of His work.
