This woman across the aisle from me at the Supermarket aggressively pulls her cart up to the line with two energetic, little boys in the cart. She is mumbling things under her breath and she moves a piece of hair back into her pony tail and throws her purse over her shoulder. I could feel the tension in the air.


She reaches into her cart and tosses down a box of Tampax and some donut holes.


I couldn't help but laugh in my head I so badly wanted to look her in the eyes and say, "this too shall pass," but you never know what could come back in return.  So, I chose to remain silent.   It was borderline sitcom material ... I should know because I've been there before.
