Winn Dixie Bench Buddies

Entertainment can sometimes be found in the miserable situation of others. Especially when it is so bad it is funny to everyone else, but the person in the middle of the disaster. Starting this story with a trip to two banks to make bank deposits, which I considered was kind of a chore and mom slipping in a trip to Winn Dixie to pick up some weekly supplies. I thought this was going to be another long I want to go home trips. It turned out I was wrong. After I had got the short stuff on my list and mom was deeply involved in getting her stuff with a cute little shopping cart, I came to share a bench in the front of the store with a lady who was moving out of her place, because of her boyfriend. She let the cashier know it was the boyfriend's fault. She let the person on the other end of the cell phone know it was the boyfriend's fault. Fortunately, I sat on the other end of the bench and did not get involved in her boyfriend's fault story. I did not play referee to a story which I did not want to be involved. I wanted her and her boyfriend to go away. Eventually, she did leave and was replaced by a 79 year old Grandmother who locked her keys in the trunk of her car along with 97 dollars worth of groceries. She had no spare key and her purse was also in the trunk of the car. I kind of Snickered at the idea of this happening. She said to me "Don't Laugh". Afterwards, she kind of eased up by saying" her Grand kids were also laughing." She even offered my a ride home, but I told her I was waiting on mom to finish her grocery shopping. She met a friend who had a small portable oxygen tank with him and told him she felt like a hundred and seventy-nine. He was sympathetic and then left to go home. She had called a locksmith which took over a half an hour wait. She spotted his van when he came and then my mom was checking out of the store with her groceries. When we had gone to our truck, we saw the locksmith had finished with her and she went home with a serious look. It seemed like she had enough to pay the guy, because he did not follow her home like she though he would. We went home with our groceries and ate pizza. Afterwards, the rain started and both of us took short cat naps in front of the television.
