VAGUE

TOMMY SAID I SEEMED VERY VAGUE IN MY LAST POST ABOUT THE GROCERIES I GAVE AWAY YESTERDAY. I DIDN'T THINK SO. MAYBE HE WANTED TO HEAR MORE. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THERE WAS ANY MORE TO TELL. HE KEPT PRODDING ME.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, TOMMY WAS MORE THAN PROUD OF WHAT I DID. I JUST DIDN'T THINK THAT MUCH OF IT. HE WANTED TO KNOW PEOPLE'S REACTIONS AND WHAT THIS LITTLE GIRL SAID. WELL HONEY, HERE IT IS IN A NUTSHELL~

I THINK THE CHECKER WAS MORE SHOCKED AND DISMAYED THAN ANYONE. I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYONE ELSE GETTING GROCERIES NOTICED. THAT WAS NOT A REAL CONCERN OF MINE ANYWAY. I HAD BEEN TO FRY'S A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES ALREADY THIS WEEK SO THE CHECKER KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING AND HOW MUCH MONEY I WAS SAVING AND JUST HAD AN ASTONISHED LOOK ON HER FACE WHEN I HANDED OVER THE GROCERIES. MY CHECKER DID TELL ME IT WAS COOL THAT I HAD DONE THAT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS NICE.

AS FOR MY LITTLE MOTHER THAT WAS REALLY SPEECHLESS.. SHE DID THANK ME. I DIDN'T EVEN NEED THAT. IF I COULD HAVE, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TRIED TO GIVE HER THE GROCERIES WITHOUT HER KNOWING WHO I WAS. THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE GIVEN THE LOCATION OF THE CHECKOUTS WE WERE IN. SHE WAS YOUNG AND SHY AND SEEMED A BIT EMBARRASSED THAT SHE NEEDED HELP. I FIGURED, HECK, WHO DOESN'T NEED HELP? I NEED IT A LOT BUT I NEVER ASK FOR IT. (NOTE TO SELF: ASKING FOR HELP IS OK!) IT WAS THE LOOK OF RELIEF ON HER FACE THAT SAID A THOUSAND WORDS THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. I AM SURE EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT. NOTHING ELSE NEEDED TO BE SAID.

TO ME, IT WAS JUST ONE MOM LOOKING OUT FOR ANOTHER!
