They Tell Me I'm a Ditzy Blonde...

For a Reason!
After commenting on a post authored by Blue Violet of A Nut in a Nutshell, I was encouraged to share my own embarrassing moments. Those moments in time that you don’t live down. No matter what you do!

There have been so many. It was hard to pick just one. Just about the time I was ready to give up, my Sweet, LOVING, Ever SO InCREDIBLY Kind Husband said one word. One word ONLY -MACYS'

I (unfortunately at times) work a job where I interact with the public on a regular basis. On this particular day, I had a nice gal end up in our front lobby. As I assisted her, we talked. We talked about the fact that she had just recently moved to my home-town from New York. Reminiscing about the things she missed already she asked me a very simple question:

"Do You Have a Macy's Around Here?"

Happy to help, I replied that we did and began to guide her to the nearest one. You should have seen this gal nearly jumping with glee as I gave here very specific instructions:

ME:

"Follow the main road to the nearest cities border"

(giving her commonly known landmarks along the way)

"As you approach the main intersection of State Street and The Highway....

the Macey's will be on the west side of the road..."

(This is where my family Laughs HYSTERICALLY)

"You won't be able to see it from the intersection. Continue North, it's

directly behind the Family Dollar Store"

This sweet sweet gal, showered me with Thank You's! She was in utter dis-belief that she would no longer be "without a Macy's" and thankful that she "still had her Macy's card...it was burning a hole in her wallet...waiting to be used"

As she left the lobby that day, she was replaying the directions I had given her. Before finally departing, she left me with one more thing to think about as she said:

"I am so glad I asked you"

Quite proud of myself, I called my father to tell him of my experience. As I began to explain to him:

"I just don't understand why she was so excited about a Macey's"

(Quite frankly the are not well kept in this area)

It was at this point that he could no longer stifle the laughter, as it was uncontrollable!

He asked ..."Where did this gal say she was from?" To which I replied, confidently "New York". Before running out of breath completely -from all the laughter, he did manage to tell me:

"Hey Blonde! She wanted a Macy's -as in the

Department Store. The Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Miracle on 34th Street......"

"You just sent her to Macey's. The GROCERY STORE!"

In MY DEFENSE..at the time we didn't have Macy's. But ONLY MACEY'S!
