Walgreens and the Caveman

They always say there's a first time for everything, and that is so true. Sometimes those first times happen in unlikely places and at the most inopportune times. But, we just keep on going right? It's one of those little mystical moments in life that keep it interesting. So let me tell you about my moment.

One day last year after I got off work I stopped by our local Walgreen's. I walked to the pharmacy and people are waiting to get their meds. They have these chairs lining the walls and some that make an "L" shape for customers who are waiting. I took my place in line. I'm standing there in my own little world, fidgeting, but at the same time thinking I look cute. I'm moving my legs around, again fidgeting, when this man walks up to this lady who is ahead of me and hands her something. The only way I can describe this man is think a caveman wearing a tie-dyed shirt and blue jean shorts. His hair was long and all over the place. He wasn't standing there long before he walked off. I continue my little "leg dance" and this time putting a little booty into it, because I'm so ready to get out of the store.

I spot the monitor behind the counter, taping my every move. We know it’s there, we see ourselves on screen, yet we do silly things just to see if it’s us. I’m no different. I'm watching myself in the monitor, again thinking I look cute and still fidgeting. I hear something. Someone is behind me whispering. "Ma'am". "Ma'am". "Ma'am!" I'm thinking I hope no one is trying to get my attention. Surely they aren't talking to me. It's kinda like when you are walking down a street and someone honks. You don't want to look nor acknowledge you heard anything. I turn around to see caveman sitting there with another woman who is waiting for her meds.

Caveman waves for me to come over to him because he "needs to tell me something". I know I looked confused because I didn't know caveman and he couldn't possibly have anything to say to me. Again he says, "I need to tell you something" and continues to motion me over to him". I stood there becoming annoyed at his persistence and I replied, "no you don't". Caveman gets up, walks over to me and whispers something in my ear. I reach behind me and all I could do was bust out laughing! Laughing so hard I almost pee'd a little!

I thanked caveman, still laughing and turned around. Behind me, I could hear him talking to the other lady sitting there. He said "I would want someone to tell me if it happened to me" and she agreed. Finally, it was my turn in line. I paid for my meds and headed for the door. As I'm walking out the door, a "hooptie" car slowly passes by and honks. I look. Caveman is driving past me and waves hard at me. As if he had just accomplished a great task and wanted me to know, once again "he had something to tell me". I start laughing and wave back.

I arrive home and not long after, my husband comes home. I told him the story of my little adventure at Walgreen's and my interaction with caveman. And then it happens. My husband was laughing so hard, he couldn't breathe. And because he was laughing, it made me laugh uncontrollably, and again, I pee'd a little.

So to let you in on what caveman said to me, look below.
