A Bedtime Story {with pictures!}



True story:

Once upon a time a young girl at the age of 17- (ish) worked at a video store.







This was a real video store. We are talking- VHS, pre-DVD days, babe-y. Back when- if you were kind, you would rewind.








This young girl worked there all. alone.



.All alone, with the VHS's and a gumball machine and rarely a customer.

.






This made for a very lonely LoW.
.


(you did know the young girl was me, didn't you?)

.

Loneliness {aka boredom} and LoW never mixed.


.


As a matter of fact, it spelled trouble. {it still does}


.


Or something like that.....


.


So LoW found herself getting a piece of gum from the gumball machine.

.

And then another....

.

and another...



Then she had this brilliant idea of seeing how many pieces of gum she could chew at once.
.
It was a beautiful sight.
.
{not really}


As LoW had this enormous wad of gum that didn't exactly fit in her mouth but made for a huge big wet sticky mess....

In walked her future husband-


He said, "Hey baby, watcha' doin?"
.
Or could it of been, "What in THE world are you DOING?" Or something like that.
.
To which LoW replied an inaudible-

"Nuffin'."

.
With gumball colored saliva spilling out of her mouth.

.

Moral of the story is....

.
Hmmmm......

Never bite off more than...

No.

.

Idle hands...

nah....

.

Maybe something like, "If he loves you, he loves you. Even though."
.

that was a slightly cute and kinda gross story.
hey, I had no idea you worked at a video store

I am LoW said...

True stories can be gross. :)

I did. It was Bro Cobb's. I showed up one day and they had closed it though, and didn't tell me. Which was okay by me... as I said, I didn't like working by myself. :)

I think the men that love their women no matter what are the best men around! You gotta have someone to love you even when you're crazy; I know I sure needed that! :)
