I Pulled a "Dad"

So, let me start out by saying, "No, I am not playing hooky from work!" I have three days off this week because there were days available, and when my supervisor approached me to ask if I would like the first three days this week off, I thought carefully about it and then agreed. After all, I have another craft sale this upcoming weekend, Christmas is rapidly approaching, and there are going to be some big changes in my living arrangements in the New Year! So yeah, I needed some days off.

So today, Stacy and I headed for Sobey's because we needed a little bit of groceries, and it is "Dollar Days" right now.

Now I can almost hear you asking, how did I pull a Dad? Well, you see......

At the end of my transaction, the cashier looked outside and saw the snow falling, again, and wondered out loud why we were getting snow. I just simply looked at her and replied, "Well, it is December!" Stacy let out a small gasp and said, "Charlotte!!"

Now, I didn't say that to be smart-mouthed, rude, mean, or otherwise negative, I was just stating a fact. It is December. We are in Winnipeg. There is going to be a high probability of snow! (Just like in January there is a high probability of extremely cold temperatures!)

I guess I could have quickly made a "Stupid Sign" and handed it to her, saying "Here's Your Sign!"

But instead, I just pulled a Dad - stated a fact. And others felt it was inappropriate to say!

Ah, I learned from the best! ;-)
