Animals Love Fetching Balls

(My husband and I have just come from a local pet store which asks you at the checkout to donate to an animal rescue charity, and I gave a small amount of cash. I give to the pet charity because I know exactly where the money goes, but in general, I’m hesitant to donate at checkouts otherwise, as they generally provide little to no information about the charity or where the money goes. After the pet store, we go to a well-known chain grocery store.)

Grocery Cashier: “Your total comes to [total]. Would you like to donate to prostate cancer today?”

Me: “No, thank you.”

Husband: “Wait, you’ll donate to a pet charity but you won’t donate to cancer research? You care more about cute animals than my balls!”

Me: *death stare*

Bagger: “You’re sleeping on the couch tonight, buddy…”

(And, for the record, he did sleep on the couch that night!)
