While out shopping the other day with my two kidlets, we visited the Halloween apparel section at Walmart. I always buy a holiday themed t-shirt for each of the kids to wear to school and then we keep it as a play shirt afterwards.

So, there we are perusing the Frankenstein t-shirts and looking at socks that having lights that flash when you walk when I suddenly realized that Owen is not standing next to me.

Panic mode!

I called his name and I heard him call back for me, just around the corner from where Maya and I were standing. Relieved, I peeked around the corner to find him standing there - all in one piece. Then he pointed and said, "Look Mama, flags!"

He was standing in front of an entire display of very tiny and very colorful ladies thong underwear.

Now, I ask you, what sort of manager okays the display of 200 pairs of teeny, tiny thong underwear at the front part of a store? And right next to the grocery section too!

All I could do is chuckle and say, "Yes, aren't they colorful!" I mean, I really didn't know what else to say. Then, of course, he asked if he could have one - which had to be a big no.

So, we hit the deli, got some popcorn chicken and got the heck out of there. I am always cautious at Halloween time. There are some very scary and gruesome things in the Halloween aisle - but I didn't think we would run into trouble in the apparel section! LOL

LOL! The UPS man already thinks I am a weirdo. Don't need to confirm that by flying tiny underwear off the front porch!
