The Earnestness of Being Important

January 27, 2006 Kim Tracy Prince 7 Comments

Scene: last night, photo counter at Walgreens.

Me, holding baby, smiling: Hello, I have a pickup for Prince.

Clerk, blank stare: Yeah…?

Me: That’s the last name.

Clerk: Oh, I thought you meant “prints.”

Me: Oh, haha! I guess everyone comes in here for PRINTS. Haha! Kyle, isn’t that funny?

Kyle: Haha!

Clerk: (silence)

    Very funny! I love “crickets chirping” moments with complete strangers.

    Boy, you’d think you lived in my county. Sounds like the “service” is about the same. Everyone acts like they’re entitled to something.

    OK. I just busted up – and YES, I spilled my coffee damnit.
    Kim, I wish I could convey subtle comedy like that thru online words. That takes a great talent.
    (Hi Kim, I know I never post because it’s been a while since I’ve been on your wonderful blog – but I’ve reorganized my favorites bar – and you’re under a drop down called “DAILY” – so that’s promising isn’t it??)
    All my love …
