Good Wine Is All Gravy

(My mom and I are at a liquor store buying wine and beer for Christmas. I have finished paying for my purchases and am waiting for my mom. My mom puts two bottles of her favorite red wine on the counter. The wine label has a large rooster on it. It’s been a long week, and I’m pretty tired.)

Me: “Is that the red wine? The… the chicken wine?”

(I’ve said this loud enough for the whole line to hear me. My mom and the cashier stare at me. The cashier looks like he’s trying really hard not to laugh.)

Cashier: “Yep. It’s the chicken wine.”

Mom: “The chicken wine. Good one, dear.”

(She finishes paying for her wine.)

Mom: *to cashier* “Have a nice evening. I hope we were able to provide you with a little bit of amusement.”

Me: “That’s what I’m here for!”
