Even after 40 years, there are moments of deep quiet . . .
Lee - You are doing an amazing job shopping. That was not an easy list and Costco can be challenging.
Ken - There was something I couldn't get. Can't remember what it was. I lost the list.
Ken - They don't carry that any more
Lee - Really?
Ken - Well, I couldn't find it so they don't carry it
Lee - Cadbury chocolate bars?
Ken - They don't carry those any more
Lee (now getting in to the swing of things) - Umm hmm Frank's Hot Sauce?
Ken - They don't carry that . . .
Lee - Vanilla Ice Cream (Remember the comment that started this - one item . . .)
Ken - They don't carry that any more - I asked (you see where the motivation rests) - but I stopped at Superstore and got two containers
It is hot here today. Ken had been home for about an hour. No ice cream had crossed the doorway. Ken NEVER goes to Superstore.
Lee- Ken, no ice cream was put away. Could you go check the car, get the ice cream that is now soup and bring it in so we can dispose of it - Wait for it . . .
Ken - Whaddya mean?
Lee - It is very warm. The car is now very, very warm. Ice cream is a frozen product when it is in good form. You have been home a while. Ice cream will no longer be a frozen product and when it is in soup stage, it is not able to be redeemed.
Ken - I brought it in
Lee - Nope, didn't happen
Ken - thinking hard - I bought butter. It was on sale. I bought two.
And there we have it. We are butter replete. Ice cream will happen another day.
