That's the second time!
Jan. 6th, 2008 02:35 pmPeople seriously need to stop popping up behind me in the card aisle at Wal-mart.
The first time it happened was when I was doing my Christmas shopping. My sister's birthday was coming up as well, so after I grabbed Mom's gift from a nearby department, I went to look for a birthday card. While I was browsing, however, Mom decided to get Laura a card as well. Later, she insisted she didn't even notice I was there (which I'm not sure I believe since we were right beside each other), but, nevertheless, I grabbed a random sister birthday card and high-tailed it out of there so she wouldn't see her gift.
Fast-forward to today: My friend Crystle's oldest son's birthday is coming up soon, so I decided to get his present today. After grabbing him a Hot Wheels set from the toy section, I went to the card aisle to get a card and a gift bag. You can probably guess what happened next. Yep, Crystle popped up with the boys. *laughs* Luckily, I don't think that Hunter was really paying attention to me, so his gift should still be a surprise, but, still, what are the odds?
From now on, I think it might be a better idea if I get the card and wrapping first, then pick out the actual presents.
