Copycat

Yesterday afternoon I was at Whole Foods with six of my children. I was feeling very sleepy and extremely relaxed. I had spent a little time earlier in the afternoon practicing some relaxation techniques I had recently learned.

We had finished our shopping and we were walking out of the store when my children exclaimed in unison, “Mom!”

I dazedly replied, “What?”

Phoebe informed me, “You said that out loud!”

In an instant, I realized what I had just done. The cashier had seen two of her friends, Tambien and Cathy and had called out to them. While I have no idea why I repeated her greeting and was really not fully cognizant until my mockery was complete, the following is true:

While the cashier’s greeting was friendly and casual, I apparently had, in a loud and very sultry, accented voice, said, “Tambien, come here and let me touch you!” To complete my parroting faux pas, I added for good measure a saucy shoulder roll and jiggle and sway of my hips.

And yes, according to my children, heads did turn. We laughed the whole way home.

Happy Friday!

    Well, if they didn’t remember you before, they will now! I’d like to learn those relaxation techniques, but maybe modified with a thought-to-giving-voice filter! Just too funny!

    1. Yes I need the voice filter in relaxing for sure. It was too funny!
