Pirate!!!

The other day while standing in line at the Pharmacy at Wal-Mart, Sadie kept tapping me on the arm, “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.” “Sadie,I told you not to interrupt me while I am talking, I’ll address you when I’m finished.” I finished signing, turned to her and said, “Ok, what is it?” She pointed behind me and shouted, “There’s a pirate!!!” Not having a clue what she was talking about I turned around to see an old guy with an eye-patch. Red-faced I turned back to push away the cart as fast as I could to the next aisle, meanwhile Sawyer stood up in the back of the cart & pointed repeating “Pirate, Pirate, Pirate.” I shushed both of my children and hurriedly escaped the next aisle over. I explained that something was wrong with the old gentleman’s eye and that he had to wear an eye patch over it to protect it & that he was indeed NOT a pirate!!! I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide, I was so embarrassed. In hindsight I laugh every time I think about it!!!
