Ha ha! I just read over my latest blog entry (yes, I read over my past entries) and I noticed that when I was talking about my mom making cinnamon rolls, I said "made by mom mom"-- what I meant to say was "made by MY mom." Just thought it was kind of funny, like I'd have some cheesy pet name for my mom like "mom-mom." Now I have to correct that, not that anyone probably really noticed, but I'm OCD about things like that...
For instance: awhile ago Marin had to have a stool softener added to her milk daily. Well I didn't want the pharmacist to think that I was buying the Miralax for me, so I casually asked,"Is there a kids Miralax or do they just use the adult one?" I know, like she cared but like I said, I'm a dork about stuff like that.
I also had to buy some Head and Shoulders for Kate today. She is getting that cradle cap thing and I asked her doctor about it and he said Head and Shoulders shampoo would take care of it. I had to totally explain this to the checker, a teenage boy who couldn't care less if the frumpy mom in line had a dandruff problem.
And this is my worst one... I hope this is not too much info., but the first time I bought lingerie I actually asked the clerk if my "friend" would be able to return it if "she" didn't like it. I know, lame. So there. Now you know that I don't call my mom "mom-mom" and I don't buy stool softeners or dandruff shampoo for myself and I never buy lingerie for myself, only my "friends".

That made me laugh out loud! I am paranoid about stuff like that too, good to know I'm not the only one.
I didn't notice the typo, however, I did laugh a lot at this post. I liked the ingenious way of asking for kids miralax. Truly, brilliant. I used to hide it in the cart behind something else; I'm not as cunning as you are.
You are so funny! I don't mind buying tampons anymore, but once I had a yeast infection and had to buy some monistat and that was embarassing. But I did not feel the need to make up an excuse about my friend with burning itching nether regions.
You make me laugh Cara! Once I had to buy 2 bottles of milk of magnesia and 3 bottles of prune juice for Avalon Hills. If they hadn't given me a company check to pay with I would have just DIED! Can you imagine being the checker and seeing that (and ONLY that) come through your line? Also, that's where prescription miralax works wonders--I don't feel like I have to make excuses becuase they can read the name on the bottle and both of my kiddos have boy names! P.S. In case I haven't told you, Kate is beautiful!
Haha, wow I loved this post. I think I know where you get it, mom told me the first time she bought birth control, she felt the need to tell the pharmacist that she had just had a baby and that they were poor college students who couldn't afford to have another kid. I'm sure that reassured him she wasn't evil.
I love you Cara. You are so hilarious. I'm glad that there is someone out there like me. I do these same type of things all of the time.
You are hilarious! I had one of the girls at Persian Peacock try to call me out on the "friend" excuse. I WAS actually buying something for a friend but no matter how many times I told her that she kept acting like I was buying it for me. I suppose you are not the only one in Cache Valley who does these things.
That's hysterical! I'm glad I'm not the only one who does things like that too. I had to buy that same stuff for Landry and was mortified thinking that the pharmacist would think I had 'a problem'
You just made me laugh so hard!! Thanks! I totally do the same thing!!!
