I had a very funny interaction with Not Nice Checkout Clerk at the market the other day. This poor lady just never has a good day. Never smiles. Never says one pleasant thing. I've been chatting her up and working on getting her to make eye-contact and to have a friendly conversation for 2 years at least, poor thing.
Anyway, a few days ago she was scanning our groceries wearing her usual Not Nice expression when she said...
NNCC: You have a lot of kids.
Me: Yep, 5 good ones.
NNCC: (turning to the babies) What are they... twins?
Me: No, actually they're 5 1/2 months apart.
NNCC: Which kid's older?
Me: Evangeline, the blonde, is almost 2. Elianna Ray, the brunette, is 18 months old.
NNCC: Which one's yours?
Me: (a little smirk) Both are mine.
NNCC: (rolling her eyes) I meeeean, do you have a white husband or a black one.
Me: (saucily) Who says she's from my husband?
NNCC: Touché!
I laughed. She laughed! We both laughed! I think we're friends now. Hooray!
