Taken to the Cleaners

Yesterday, on our way out of the Kroger parking lot, I said, “Oh, I keep meaning to pick up my dry cleaning.”  Husband put on the brakes and said, “Well?  It’s right there.  Might as well do it now.”

I hesitated.  “No, it’s ok.  I’ll get it later.”

He let up on the brakes and then stopped again. He pointed across the parking lot. “It’s right there.”

I ‘fessed up.  “It’s been there for a really, really long time.”

“How long?  Do you have the ticket?”

I fumbled for the pink receipt in my wallet. “Fifteen months?  Oh, man. I can’t go in there.”

“Tell them you’ve been in a coma.”

      I know, right?! I didn’t have the nerve. I immediately apologized profusely. The cashier narrowed her eyes and said, “You know, your clothes are probably gone by now.” Of course, they were still there.
