Nope. No trip to Arkansas would be complete without at least one trip to that there Wal-Mart.
Tonight, after a family birthday dinner with the folks, my Mom decided she needed to stop by Wal-Mart to buy my Grandmother ( Memaw ) some stockings.
So as we passed Wal-Mart, she asked my Dad and me, "Would you mind waiting in the car while I run in?"
To which, I replied, "Mom, I think we're a bit older than 12 and we can actually go inside this time."
So I wander around a bit and finally meet my Parents in the Women's section, where my Mom is looking for some hose.
I didn't realize this, but Leggs has a stocking line for those of us with black or brown complexions called, and I'm not making this up, "Brown Sugar."
I walked over and advised my Mom that I don't think Memaw had a skin-tone that would match anything she found in the Brown Sugar collection. She finally got to looking at the models on the packaging, realized her mistake, and shifted to the other side of the display before making her selection.
