Orange You Glad I Have a Sense of Humour?

I have been wanting to check out the Victoria's Basement outlet about 2 km away from our place. They are having a "Countdown to Stocktake Clearance Sale" and of course I wouldn't want to miss that. (Victoria's Basement sells an assortment of cookware, bakeware, glassware, electrical appliances, and more.)

We had planned on going last weekend but something came up. So early yesterday morning, I asked MacGyver if he would drive me over to check out the sale. When he agreed, I mentioned this to MyGirl. She was excited to join us. (As you may know, she is my partner in crime when it comes to baking.)

In the afternoon, as we were about to leave, RD said he wanted to come as well. So all four of us piled into the car and went to Victoria's Basement.

Two minutes into the store and I knew I should have left RD at home. He was hovering like a shadow as I walked down the aisle. How can anyone stop and browse if one is being trailed at such proximity? He was acting like a prison guard walking a prisoner through the yard. It was as if I was not allowed to stop.

When I stopped to look at kitchen gadgets, I could sense that he couldn't understand why I was stopping. I am sure there were many instances when he wished he could just drag me towards the exit.

We weren't in the store for five minutes and already he was asking what time we were going home.

Arrggghhh!!

Thankfully, after a while, he let me and MyGirl walk at our own pace as he and MacGyver wandered around.

After about an hour, I guess the boys figured they had given the girls sufficient time, they walked along with us. Seeing that we hadn't really picked up anything much to buy, RD mentioned that the last time we were there (when Z had visited), I was looking for something and the lady had said it was in this particular section. He asked if I wanted to check that section out before we left.

As we were going through the items on the racks, RD spotted something and picked it up.

"Mom, I don't know what THIS is meant to be."

"It's an orange juicer," I said.

He gave me a look and replied, "That's not what it looks like to me."

I laughed as I understood exactly what he meant.

I couldn't resist taking this picture of him with the more-than-meets-the-eye orange juicer.

(Perhaps RD thought he'd found Victoria's Secret!)

It does seem to be intentionally designed to look like.. whatever RD was thinking. That's one cool juicer.
