At Least I Got a Yummy Chai Latte

You know you're scrupulous if . . .

. . . you buy yourself a drink you didn't need or really even want from the grocery store Starbucks in order to look like a paying customer after your kids have had free cookies from the bakery, even though you ARE a paying customer because you JUST paid for a prescription, DayQuil, and children's Motrin, BUT you paid for said items at the pharmacy counter before the ingestion of said cookies and therefore have nothing left in the cart that would indicate to the Scary Grocery Store Authorities that you are not a complete and total cookie moocher.

. . . AND when I got to the car, I thought, "Dang it! There you go again!"
