Me: "Sir, we're just following the pricing. No one is forcing you to buy anything, and you're welcome to order items separately."

I stopped at a small, non-chain gas station on a road trip to grab a few supplies and fill my tank. When I got to the register, I greeted the cashier, who was texting on her phone. She didn’t say anything to me, but did stop to pick up her phone and send a couple of messages.

At our gas station, we refill propane tanks. A customer has driven in with his truck, asking us to fill all the empty propane tanks on it.
Me: "Uh, some of these tanks look a little old."

Adorable Children

At first, I didn't understand why the other foster children stayed with us. I had been told that they stayed with us because their birth parents couldn't care for them properly at that moment, but originally, that got translated in my mind to "they were wrongly stolen from their parents by the government, like I was."
