Adventures in Mommyhood!: School Supplies

We went to Walmart today and got School Supplies. I just love getting school supplies, it is so very fun. We got everything the kids need to start school and a little extra. I wanted to get Luke a couple of pair of new shinny shorts. I had gotten him some chaps shorts and a pair of plaid ones, but he loves the shinny shorts so much so I wanted to get him a few pair.

So after getting school supplies we ran to Kohls while we were out, because I had a $5.00 off coupon + 15%, and I knew the shinny shorts were on sale for $5.20. So I could basically get a pair free. Well anyway we went and picked out the colors Luke wanted and then I sent Pat to the check out with Luke while I took Ashlyn to the potty. I come back and he is like hurry up, he looked so embarrassed. When I get over there I see that the total is 18 cents.

What happened was, Pat put the shinny shorts he had in his hand on the counter, and Luke held on to his, so the lady only rang up one pair. Pat said "wow my wife said it was going to be a good deal, but I did not know it was going to be this good a deal". He was like I don't have any change on me and I don't want to put 18 cents on my debit card, so I will just wait until my wife gets back. The lady behind him really wanted to give him 18 cents, so Pat let her, and Thanked Her. At this point the cashier notices Luke's pair of Shinny Shorts, "Oh Sir I did not ring those up". At this point Pat is ready to leave and I think he even says he was going to put them back. The cashier felt sorry for Pat so she rings him up again same as before and tells him that will be 18 cents. So the lady behind him coughs up another 18 cents! I arrive as she is giving the lady the second 18 cents, and try to pay her back. She told me no, please let me do it! I have never gotten a deal this good, and well I would like the buy this little boy some back to school clothes. Oh it is so funny, that's how you do back to school shopping people!!!!! Get it for 18 cents and have the lady behind you pay! We got free shorts today! hehehehe! We have gotten a very big laugh out of this today!
