Although sometimes I enhance them a bit, I do run into some truly odd situations at WalMart on occasion. I think maybe I will write a book of them someday.

So, we were at WalMart on Memorial Day evening. Grocery shopping. There were very few people there. (Did anyone else notice how few people seemed to be out and about this past weekend?) We were in the long aisle down the side that runs along the meat coolers. Lisa and Evan were heading over to pick out a nice package of bacon. I glanced down the length of the aisle and, several rows away, caught a view of something quite unusual.

I saw a woman, about my age and really by all accounts a very "normal" looking person, with her shirt pulled up from the bottom so that she could adjust her brassiere or the contents thereof. It was like something we've all seen our Aunt Esthers do on a hot summer day in the kitchen. (Oh, you say you haven't seen that? Hmmmm. That's interesting. It may explain a lot about me.)

Anyway, Topless WalMart Lady looked up as she was in the midst of this and our eyes met. She hurriedly put herself back together. For the rest of the shopping trip, I was trying to avoid seeing her and I think she was doing the same with me.

Until we met at the strawberry display where my wife was commenting on the size of the strawberries. There, with Topless WalMart Lady standing nearby, Lisa (who had not seen what I had witnessed earlier) was saying "Have you ever seen such big ones?"

Can you say "Awk-ward"?
