Miss Information has a religious experience...in Walmart
Ok so Miss Information has become a wheelchair user. Stroke but she's ok and she will run over your feet if you treat her like an invalid. She can't walk but she dashes around town in her awesome powerchair. She can even stand up if she needs something from the top shelf at the supermarket.So this past weekend she went to Walmart. She needed an extension cord. She was feeling a bit stressed because she was moving out of the rehab hospital and back into assisted living and moving is so stressful, you know?
What is Miss Information's traditional cure for stress? Chocolate.
Having grabbed her extension cord she made her way to the candy section. She was trying to decide when a woman came up behind her and asked for recommendations. It's WALMART! They have all the chocolate in the world, just pick something!
Miss Information: Oh well there are lots of options. You should just try something you think you'd like. (Was she new to the planet or something?)
Woman: But what do you like?
Miss Information: I like dark chocolate but it's not for everyone. You should just pick a couple of things. (It's chocolate! You can't really go wrong here!)
Ah but it turns out the woman had an agenda. Dammit.
Woman: Why are you in that wheelchair?
So it's not about the candy. Sigh.
Miss Information: Stroke.
Woman: Too bad. Tell me--are you familiar with the Gospels?
Oh hell. Young-ish woman in a wheelchair gazing longingly at chocolate. She must need religion! For the record she just needed chocolate!
Actually, Miss Information had to read the New Testament more than once in university but she told the horrified woman that she is not religious. Woman left.
Miss Information quickly made her way to the checkout but stopped on the way to pick up chocolate covered pretzels. Two bags! White and milk chocolate.
