Tonight we are taking a stab at making paella for dinner, so my dad and I went to Ralph’s today to buy a bunch of groceries. It took us – plus one other shopper and 2 employees – about 20 minutes to find the saffron. But we found it finally in the kosher corral. Then we had to stop and get some money at the B of A on San Vicente, which is conveniently located next to a Jamba Juice. They have those all fruit smoothies now with no added sugar or dairy, so of course we went in to get one for ourselves and one to bring back to mom.

The 16-year-old girl working the register took our order and then asked us if we would like a free boost. You know about the free boost…powdered energy or immunity or caffeine or whatever that they slip into the blender with the bananas to add that extra something special to your smoothie.

Dad looked over the chart of free boost options in front of us, paused to consider it, and said, “I don’t see a Viagra boost on there. So, no.”

Thankfully the poor dear laughed instead of calling over her manager to escort us out of there.

Egads, it was funny. So very wrong, but funny.

Also, fyi before I forget to mention it elsewhere, the theme for this week’s poetry wednesday is BODY PARTS!
