Octomom, The Early Years
(A middle-aged woman who doesn’t look too well comes up to my checkout.)
Me: “Hi! How are you today?”
Customer: “I think I’m in labour.”
Me: “Oh! Shouldn’t you be in the hospital?” *starts scanning her items*
Customer: “Nah, this is my third one. I won’t go to the hospital until I know it’s coming out.”
Me: “Oh. Um… all right.”
(I finish ringing her up and hand her her bags.)
Customer: “Yeah, it doesn’t hurt or anything. After the first one, you don’t really notice!” *takes her things and leaves*
