First, I should have known something was up with Vince. I love snow cones and he moans and complains . . you’re paying for ice and sugar! And . . cream I might add!
This afternoon he said “Would you like to go to town and get a snow cone?” No! There has to be some ulterior motive here but I love snow cones enough that I’d play along and make all the stops with him in order to get my snow cone.
On the way to town, I said . .
Me: We should buy a lotto ticket. (something we NEVER do.)
Vince: Where do we buy them?
Me: I don’t know . . I think most every place sells them.
Vince: Does Kroger sell them?
Me: I think!
Vince: I don’t think so.
Me: OK.
Vince: Does Alsups sell them?
Me: I don’t know.
Vince: Would they have a sign out front that says they sell them?
Me: I don’t know. I never pay that much attention.
Vince: Do you think Stripes sells them?
Me: Good grief, Vince! We’re passing all these places . . just stop and go in and see if they sell them or . . don’t buy one!
Vince: How much do they cost?
Me: I don’t know.
Vince: When was the last time you bought one?
Me: Four . . maybe five years ago!
Vince: Where did you buy it?
Me: VINCE! Forget that I even asked for a lotto ticket!
Seriously . . stop at the first store you come to . . go in, ask. If they sell them, buy one . . if not, stop at another store or . . don’t get one. That conversation went on all the way til we got to one of the little stop & rob stores and I said “STOP HERE!” He wanted to know if I thought they sold them .. YES! Go in and see! Yes! They did . . he got one and that conversation was done!!
Snow Cone
We did get our snowcones, though judging from his expression, I like them more than he does! I guess it was worth having to go to McDonald’s, CVS, and Kroger.
vivoaks says
LOL!! Your conversations sound just like hubby and me!! 🙂 Except hubby NEVER goes to town unless it’s an emergency. He absolutely hates shopping, so I get stuck doing it all myself….
Liz says
Love Vince’s pouty lip lol.
Suzanne says
You two have the best conversations!
Joan says
ROFL yep that’s a conversation that could have happened here in a heartbeat! LOL!!!!!
Sherrill says
Why’d he get one if it’s just ice and sugar?!! Goofy. He doesn’t look happy at all. I LOVE snowcones especially at Bahama Bucks.mmm, juicy fruit snowcones!
Jen says
Hope you better luck than me! I never buy tickets….in fact the last time do bought a few, they were only 1.00!
Linda in NE says
Vince looks a little grumpy in that picture. Did the ticket win anything at all? I haven’t bought a lottery ticket in years. The state of Nebraska gets plenty of my money in taxes.
Sherry says
Cream in the sno cone? In Ohio we have shaved ice, sugar and flavor concentrated syrup. Mighty good on a hot summer day.
Jackie says
Oh Vince whats with the pouty lips, you asked her to go and she did so there should be a smile from ear to ear. Good luck remember me if you win.
Edna says
Asking questions may be too similar to asking for directions, those are just not talents often given to the male of the species. I just love when you share conversations!
