I’ve been working out with dumbbells lately and now Amy has decided she wants in on the fitness action. Knowing our laziness, however, she realized that if we had to keep switching weights on and off the dumbbells it’d just give us an excuse to not do it at all and we’d sink back into our slothful existence. So, we headed out to Play It Again Sports over the weekend to pick up another set of dumbbell rods for her.
Amy also decided she needed a few more lighter weights for herself, so we picked out four 2.5 pound disks in addition to the rods. Ray was acting up a bit, so Amy scooped him up and took him out to the car while I went up to pay.
I was a bit self-conscious about buying, essentially, two 5-pound dumbbells, but the clerks were pretty busy gabbing with each other and weren’t paying customers a whole lot of attention. I paid for the weights and as I was scooping them up off the counter to leave, the cashier said: “Have a good set, man.”
I related this to Amy when I got back to the car, and she laughed so hard she started to cry.
“Did you clarify things with him?” she asked between sobs.
“No,” I replied. “I was caught off-guard. I may have even said ‘You too.’”
“That’s worse than having to buy tampons,” she acknowledged.
Now I either have to go back there and buy the 50 lb. weights, or never shop there again.

OH MY GOD, I am laughing too. Maybe I should call them and tell them how you taught me how to hit a and field a ball. (I know I sucked but at least I did it and you were a GOOD teacher!!!).
