Sales Associate: Ah, Miss, have you decided on any of the shoes? –
Bettina: You bet – all of them, hon! This is my lucky day, finding some great new shoes – I
may have to buy some new clothes to
go with, eh, Lenore? *chuckle*
Lenore: Sure, Betts…
Lenore: After all, it’s not every day you can find YOUR shoe size. This calls
for a celebration – a BIG one *snicker* –
Bettina: That was SO uncalled-for, Len *hmph* – you’ve
just sucked all the fun out of this. Maybe I don’t really want them, after all
–
Sales Associate: *concerned* Fit and comfort should be high on the list of reasons for buying
a shoe, as well as style, Miss –
Sales Associate: I would hate to see you lose out on both, since you seemed so pleased at
first –
Bettina: Oh – well – you have a point. As usual, I should consider the source;
heaven knows I ought be used to it by now! We’ll take
all four pairs, my good man –
Lenore: *strokes suit* Betts is so right; you ARE a good man indeed! –
Sales Associate: I beg your pardon, Miss – is there something you would like to see?
Lenore: Shoe-wise, no – but I like what I’m seeing at the moment *wink*.
Bettina: I apologize for my friend there – she gets a little full of herself at
times –
Sales Associate: No problem, Miss – I prefer to think of it as an occupational hazard.
Will this be on your store charge?
Bettina: Sure, it could use the exercise – *snerk*
**Lenore hums to self**
Bettina: You seem pretty cheery, even though you’re not the one getting new shoes
–
Lenore: I did get something I wanted –
*grin*.
Bettina: And what would that be?
Lenore: Why, the salesman’s phone number, silly!
Bettina: Really… Well then, I guess this calls for a celebration – off to the
nearest civilized watering hole, hm?
Lenore: I’ll drink to that –
Bettina: No surprise there.
I
wouldn’t mind a little martini or
Ah,
Easter – the season for little bunny rabbits, and egg hunts – both of which can
be hazardous for one’s health…
