Macy's and the Hannakuh cards...

SO......I'm at Macy's today finishing up my Xmas shopping, and I stop by their Xmas store here, and pick up next years Xmas and Hannakuh cards. As I am waiting in line, an elderly Jewish couple asks where I found the Hannakuh cards, and I explained they were on the bottom row and that I had to get on my knees to get them.

The woman looked at me and said "So, what else is new?"

And I though how rude, she has NO idea how much IF any time I spend on my knees....and I was a bit miffed as I assumed she was really saying 'QUEER!!!!!' and pointing at me and making that disgusting sound the pod people make in Invasion of the Body Snatchers when they find a normal person.

SO, I was about to swing around and give her a (not to large)piece of my mind when I realized that what she meant was that the Hannakuh cards were ALWAYS on the bottom row........

And I started laughing, wished them a Happy last night of Hannakuh and went my merry, or perhaps it sould be "Mary" way.

I've had those moments as well, with some embarrassing outcomes! Thankfully I've grown enough to look outside of myself for the common statement before immediately getting defensive.

Er, most of the time.

(I'd like to think so, anyway...)

Isn't it obvious?
