Here is what the TARGET parking lot surveillance camera probably saw....
THE BOTTOM HALF of a woman is sticking out of the trunk of her minivan,
she appears to be getting stuff out
and then the trunk begins to close,
with her the upper half of her body...
still in the trunk.
and in a move she fancies to resemble the QUICK reflexes of a cat...

and in a move she fancies to resemble the QUICK reflexes of a cat...
the lady dodges her head and
around the trunk lid ...
and
she PULLS herself out of the trunk
BUT
HER CATLIKE MOVES
are so abrupt and with such momentum that she
teeter backwards.....
BUT
HER CATLIKE MOVES
are so abrupt and with such momentum that she
teeter backwards.....
in fast little weaving baby steps,
... at an angle....
and in slow motion
she keeps moving backwards across the
parking lot, almost to the cars on the opposite side
and then...
and then...
BAM
she is DOWN!
she is DOWN!
and things go flying
lampshades and Target bags full of items to return...
...and from all directions people ...
lampshades and Target bags full of items to return...
...and from all directions people ...
who have been placing bets on
"is she or is she not going down?"
shout..
"ARE YOU OKAY???"
I sit
stunned and embarrassed
and wishing I had one of the kids with me so we could at least
laugh at how funny I know I must have looked...

and a lady with a cigarette in one hand and some food in the other comes over and asks..
"are you REALLY okay?"
she continues...
"I would help you up but..."
she continues...
"I would help you up but..."
and then with her eyes,
she points
she points
to her occupied hands...
and I want to say...
"seriously"
and I want to say...

So I picked myself up dusted myself off and
headed into Target.
A little bruised, a little shaken and humbled...
but ready to shop!!!

ReplyDeleteYou are not alone in adventures like these. I always laugh out loud at myself too - I'm sure people think I'm crazy.
