Never read receipts out loud … at Christmastime

I’m about the biggest dolt there is. I do the bills. I do 99% of the shopping. You’d think I’d remember what everything was as I recorded the receipts. But, nooooooooooooo! Of course not! And while doing the bills, if I don’t know I usually say “Ron, do you know what ‘x’ is that we paid ‘y’ for on ‘z’ date?” That’s the norm at least.

Well, in Christmastime, I recommend NOT doing that under any circumstance as I just gave Ron his Christmas present last night.

This is what the Home Depot receipt said … read it, WITHOUT saying it out loud.

Hunh? I was completely lost.

Now read it out loud and you’ll HEAR what it is immediately.

The rac is was totally threw me.

It’s an oval pot rack and I haven’t a clue what the ‘a s’ is for, but that was throwing me too.

Well I guess now it’s just one less thing to transport to Winston. 😉
