As I was making my shopping list for today, I noticed in the Kroger ad this week that 2 liters of Pepsi products were on sale for $.95 each. As I finished scanning groceries in the self checkout line, swiped my credit card to pay and was bagging the food, I heard the following VERY loud conversation behind me:
Tyler: (Staring at the woman's groceries coming down the conveyor belt in the self checkout lane next to us) Look Brenna, 6 2 liters. No...now 7!!
Lady Checking Out: Actually I have 10 of them.
Tyler: Wow...does your husband like to drink Pepsi a lot?
Lady Checking Out: No, unfortunately it's just me.
Tyler: You shouldn't drink so much soda. It's unhealthy for you. Or at least you should drink diet!
Lady Checking Out: I guess you're right.
Tyler: Thank you.
Me: (Very embarrassed) I'm so sorry. This 10 year old apparently doesn't have a filter.
Lady Checking Out: That's why they are so great.
At least she was a good sport about it! Although I couldn't really tell Tyler he was wrong. It really is unhealthy for you...guess I taught him well. Honestly I had to wonder to myself just how much soda the lady drinks in one day. Don't 2 liters go flat in like 2 days once they are opened?? So she either has to drink a 2 liter within a 48 hour period or like drinking flat soda. Hmmmm....oh well. Either way, my apologies to the soda drinker on behalf of my 10 year old nutritionist!
Haha, I love it when kids say things that we're all thinking but don't have the guts to say. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe, just maybe, a little 10-year old made that Pepsi consumer STOP and THINK - that they might be better off without all this soda.
