Love Isn’t As Priceless As It Used To Be
(I work in a toy store where customers can custom-build their own stuffed animals. A father and young daughter approach.)
Me: “Welcome to [Toy Store]. Have you picked out an animal to be stuffed today?”
Little Girl: “Yes!”
(We proceed to stuff the bear and the little girl grabs one of the ‘push to talk’ buttons and hands it to me.)
Me: “Okay, you want to get the ‘I love you’ button put in today?”
Father: “Hold on a second. Baby, what’s this thing?”
Little Girl: “He puts it in the bear for me and when you push it, it says ‘I love you’!”
Father: “How much does this thing cost?”
Me: “Five dollars, sir.”
Father: “S***! For five dollars, baby, I’ll tell you I love you! Go put that thing back.”
