went to wal-mart today to pick up a few last minute things for christmas. i had maggie with me. we were waiting in the check out line when the very elderly checker came to our line. he was getting ready to open up the register next to us and said "i can help you over here." he began very very slowly shuffling over. he is probably 80 years old if i were to guess, very tall and very frail.
maggie got really excited and started jumping up and down. she chased him down and looked at him and said "mommy look - a real LIVE zombie!" she followed him into his lane and proceeds to yell "mommy im not kidding, its a real zombie, look look!"
i suppose in her eyes his slow shuffling with his arms held out for balance, his pale skin and thing frame might of appeared a little like a zombie.
i didn't know what to do but put my head down and beg her not to talk anymore.
