Only in Walmart

Every time I head out to do my grocery shopping I bemoan the fact that Walmart is SO much closer to me than Target. On the upside, Walmart is a mecca for people-watching. I heard this little gem last week - thought I would share.

Coming around the end of an aisle, I caught the very end of this educational conversation.

Mom to cartfull of runny-nosed children - "Because Mommies and Daddies get their
magic from Santa Claus, and Santa Claus gets his magic
from . . . (wait for it, people, this is the zinger) Jesus."

That's right. Apparently Jesus is magic. You heard me - or the crazy, misguided woman in the fishing aisle - just in case you were wondering who to ask next time you need a bit of magic. Wow. There you are, Sugar. Mommy will never lead you astray.
And I felt bad for referencing "The Santa Claus" for all my children's questions on the Santa subject. Now I feel just fine. I feel angelic. What were they doing talking about Santa in June anyway?
