Had to get this little story down before it escaped my memory because it was too weird.
I made a quick trip to 7-11 for Coke. In and out, no problem, right?
Me: (handed the cashier my debit card)
Cashier: You know, we only take cash for the lottery.
Me: (??? Looking around for someone who might be advertising "I want a lottery ticket". Nobody) Uh... OK
Cashier: I don't even have one of those. What I got in my pocket is what I got. I always know how much money I have cause it is in my pocket.
Me: That's great...
Cashier: In fact, a cashless society is a sign of the END TIMES
Me: Uh...
(interrupted by crazy # 2, who is in line behind me)
Crazy 2: That's right. And the LORD will SMOTE the non-believers
Cashier: (realizing he has a kindred spirit, proceeds to hold my receipt hostage) Brother, you better believe it!
Me: (Moving my hand towards his in an attempt to grab my receipt) Good to know. Listen...
Cashier: (interrupts me, swoops in on my extended hand, grabs it, and, with surprising deftness, switches the receipt to the other hand and holds it OVER HIS HEAD) What I am sayin' to you is true!
Crazy 2: Amen
Me: Okay,well, I don't really need a receipt anyway. Have a good night! (exits stage left at a run)
Cashier calls after me: Don't forget to bring cash for the lotto next time!
----------------------------
So many problems with this scene.
1: Crazy number 2 used the word smote
2: I felt the uncontrollable need to wish these two crazies a good night
3: I wasn't even wearing my "I love the lottery" t-shirt
4: Cashier handed me my receipt when he realized I was done with this scenario.

- I am a mom. That is about all I am these days. There used to be numerous interesting things to say about me. Now it is something akin to "Yeah, she's that girl with all the little kids"...

OMG! how freaking bizarre!! i seriously thought you were going to say at the end "and then i woke up". way too crazy for it to be real. HAS to be a dream!
What I found wrong with this scenario: Most people who would be this concerned about the end times coming would not be playing or encouraging others to play the lottery! The whole thing is very strange.
I think the weirdos must have a secret web site and your photo must be all over it! lol this could only happen to you which makes me very thankful!
Which 7-11 was it? I want to avoid it at all costs!!!
this was probably a sign to get a lottery ticket...!!!!
Love it! Glad you escaped unscathed!
I don't think I have ever heard the word "smote" actually spoken..
:O good grief. that'll teach YOU to go get a coke. Geez Nicole pick some up at United or Target next time LOL The lottery thing is the weirdest to me. WTH?
