Le Shoutout 🧣

Last week, I popped into Wellness Warehouse.

I was on a quest to pick up some items a nutritionist told me to get.

One by one, I got what I needed, including oats, unflavoured protein, maca powder, and more.

As I put the items down at the till, the teller started ringing them up.

Beep beep beep went the beep machine.

I looked at the price and beeped a bit myself.

The cashier looked at all the items. He looked at the protein powder. He looked at the oats. He looked at the other items. Then he looked at me.

“You forgot the chia seeds,” he said.

I looked at the list of items and realised he was right: I had forgotten the chia seeds.

So, I turned around quickly, picked them up, and placed them on the counter.

“Beep,” went the machine.

“Beep,” I replied, softly, looking at the bag of goods before me.

Shoutout to the teller who knew what I needed.

Le Story ✍️

Last week, I found myself in the sauna.

It was nice and hot. So, after 20 minutes, I got out.

After a quick shower, I patted myself dry and then bumped into a friend.

“Brother,” we said to one another, chatting briefly before saying goodbye.

I walked to the reception, validated my parking ticket, and then walked out the gym.

I returned to my vehicle, put my bag in the back and hopped into the front.

Then, as I turned on the engine, it hit me:

“Where is my parking ticket?”

Did I leave it upstairs? Was it still in the machine?

I looked in my one pocket. I looked in the other. I checked my wallet. I looked beneath me. I looked above. I looked under my seat. I looked near my feet. And then I looked in the mirror.

“Ah,” I thought as things got clearer.

Lo and behold, no matter how long I searched, I was never going to get any nearer, for the ticket was in my mouth all along.
