Bested at Trader Joe's

           I had a cart full of groceries at Trader Joe’s, but once again I had forgotten to bring bags in.

          “How long have we been doing this?” I said to the checker, a guy in his 30s.  “Years? A decade?  And I still can’t remember to bring bags in!”

          He and the fellow beside him chuckled. “Do you want a bag for this cantaloupe?” the other guy asked. “So it won’t roll around?”

          “Ah,” I said, “I have the solution for items that roll around—you keep a laundry basket in the trunk.”

          Both of them were impressed. “That’s ingenious,” the checker said.

          “I have zillions of clever ideas,” I said. “I have a Youtube channel as the Youtube Mom. You should look it up.”

          Now the other guy quipped, “Hey, and if you can remember to bring bags next time, you’ll be dialed in.”

          Okay, fine, you little smarty pants. “You got me,” I admitted. Hey, nobody’s perfect.
