A Runaway Train Of Thought, Part 2

(An elderly couple enters the store and starts checking out our collection of animals.)

Me: “Can I help you?”

Man: “Yes, we would like a pet… maybe a cat, or a dog…”

Woman: “…or a rabbit, or a turtle.”

Man: “Yes. One of those…”

Woman: “…or all of them.”

Man: “Oh yeah, that’s possible too…”

Woman: “…and a hamster. Don’t forget the hamster!”

Man: “And a few birds…”

Woman: “…or cake. I’d like cake…”

Man: “…with a cup of coffee. ”

Woman: “Yeah. That’s across the street. I see!”

Man: *to me* “Okay, thank you sir. goodbye!”

Me: *amused and confused* “Enjoy your cake…goodbye!”
