Welcome to my World-Atm and scaring the Guy at Walmart
Welcome to my world we have today mom vs. atm and mom vs. the truck. Will start with the atm...my hubby and I just got new debit cards and the only way to activate them is through an atm. Well alright I can do that...oh yeah. Well I get to the bank teller with a 4yr old, So I asked the teller this question...Has their been any changes with the atm and if so What are they? What do I hear roaring laughter through entire lobby and a response R you Serious? So it didn't help that I have 4yr old in tow, who heard everything and of course she pipes up...Mom was that a dumb question, you said no question was dumb though was that the one time it was a dumb question? Alright feeling the heat and trying to think fast to everything that happen..I did finally pipe up It has been at least 15yrs since I have dealt with a atm in the US and believe me we did high tail it out of there.
Well I do admit I was laughing after that though it sure didn't stop there though. I then proceed to drive around to the ATM. I really needed to get these cards activated for our trip. So when I pull up a Flood of questions came from the backseat. Mommy is that atm? Do you know how to work? Wait why did it do that? Where is the sucker? It didn't get me a sucker! Why did it beep? Why is picture changing? Oh man talk about overload, So off to home and do a google search of atm machines and sit 4yr old down to answer all her questions.
Somehow you would think that it will soak into my brain that I should stop with just one drama for the day, but Nope not for me. K and I went to Walmart to get my dad's groceries, we had absolutely no problem with that haul. So as I was unloading the groceries. I started to notice blood, not just little bit but puddles and I am thinking what in the world. That is when I noticed I had skinned the entire index finger on my right hand, so grabbing roll of paper towels I started to try to stop the bleeding. When I hear Mam, Let me take your cart, Oh wait it isn't empty, here let me help and then I hear OH MY GOD, you are bleeding. Let me go get first aid kits, oh let me call for help, oh wait here let me finish emptying your cart for you. Holy Macro, way this guy was freaking out I was just praying he wouldn't take the cart and run with my groceries.
After he was nice enough to load it up, he said he was going to get help and I keep telling him no I am fine just let me go so I can deal with it. Then K pipes up, We go now head home get scooby band-aids, Oh wait we got papa groceries we can throw them out as we go by though papa does have band-aids, maybe we will stop. Then I hear this Alright mommy Step on it we are heading to papa's he has band-aids and we can also give him groceries. I seriously wonder what it like to not have drama everyday, very boring in my opinion.
So I guess the lesson of the day-atm machines have never changed in the last 15yrs and they don't give suckers out. Lesson two always carry a first aid kit in your car or in my case don't be a dummy and take it out just for the day.
