Do I Look Cool Now

 My consistent,

lucid,

annotator,

Yaz 129,

brought up the wonderful comparison of me,

getting a little embarrassed,

and a little anxious,

when I spouted out,

"It's my daughter's car!"

in my story,

"A Dynamic Father,"

to that of being asked by my daughters to buy tampons for them.

(Read "A Dynamic Father" and you'll see why.)

Raising four daughters I have gone to the store to buy tampons on more then one occasion.

It was about 10 years ago,

that I swore I would never do it again when,

at the time,

I got in line,

at the 15 items or less aisle.

  I plopped down a large 72 count bag of tampons.

Trying to look cool in front of the attractive,

twenty something checkout girl.

She immediately looks me in the eyes

and says,

"That is really embarrassing. I can't even go to the checkout and buy tampons for myself in front of other people. I check out in the self serve aisle!"

Of course I have gone back since then,

shamefully,

with my tail between my legs,

to buy tampons for my girls.

Now,

I buy smaller bags of tampons,

hide them under other groceries,

and I use the self serve check out aisle!
And man,
do I look cool now!

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
