Conversational Piece

"What is that?" the cashier asked she rang up one of my items.

"I don't know," I answered.

She looked at my strangely.
I considered my reply.
It was indeed very unexpected.

"I'm a teacher," I explained, "and every year my students make commercials for make-believe product. I saw this on clearance and thought it would make a good prop."

Her confusion turned to interest, and we chatted amicably as she finished with my stuff. "My teachers never did anything like that!" she told me as I swiped my card. "Kids today are really lucky!"

"Was that oversharing?" I asked Heidi as we left the store.

"No, Babe, I think that was just right," she said.
