Day 18: Lied...on accident

There is one thing I am really hard-core about...rules.  I am actually a little obsessive about following them and was for many years the annoying one who made sure that everyone else was following the rules too.

I like to think that I have gotten better than I was in high-school and will even break one or two occasionally.

But there is one I have never broken.

I never have more than the items called for in the check-out lanes at grocery stores.  My husband tries to get me to do it every time, just with a few more items than called for, and I just have not ever been able to get myself to do it.

Until tonight.  And it was on accident.

I told the lady I had ten items, and it was a ten item lane.  And I had coupons, so I had already heard the groans from the people behind me.  My baby had just woken up and my husband called to tell me, so I was in a hurry.

Then I got home tonight, and counted my items.  Eleven.  Oops.  I am still feeling guilty about it.

I guess now I need to break a few more, huh?

oh my sweet cousin! kebvin and i went to the store with both kids and checked out with a full on grocery cart. we wondered why the checker was so rude and grumbly and didnt have a sacker to help him...until we left and i looked back...10 items only isle!!! we had NO clue. I felt SO BAD. I wanted to get give him a tip. i think its this store's policy not to turn anyone away b/c he didnt say a word. i would have gladly loaded up my cart again and moved. i hope that made you feel better. LOL mk
