He was also running out of this cream for his behind
when it gets chafe. I looked all over
the store for it, the baby aisle, the ointment aisle, and the medication
aisle. I went back and forth three
times. I didn’t want to ask a clerk
since I wasn’t sure what to call it. I
knew it had a ridiculous name with “butt” in it. So finally I gave up and went up to a man who
might have been the manager. He was up
front and had a shirt that reflected the store’s identity.
The man had dark hair pushed back, and his face
looked middle aged, or perhaps a shade younger.
He looked at me square in the eye, and then when my words finally
registered in his head, he doubled over laughing.
I must have turned red, and quickly said, “It’s for
a child.”
The man regained himself and nodded his head. I’m not sure what he meant by that nod,
perhaps to say “yeah, they all say that.”
What he did say was, “It’s actually called Butt Paste, and it’s in aisle
14."
I thanked him and went over and found it. It was the baby aisle, but I hadn’t noticed
it. I was looking for a plastic tube and
it turned out they package the tube in a box, which threw me off.
I bet that man went home to his wife and told her a
funny story. He was probably laughing
all night.
Wow that's a new one! My kids were in the age of Desitin. I swore by it. Use it at bedtime and rash was gone or vastly improved by morning. :)
ReplyDeleteButt paste seems to work the same way. I wish I had known of Desitin. That would have been a less embarressing word to repeat.
DeleteIt takes a big man to write like that. That's all I'll say.
