education check, register 2

the other day i went to the store,
it's easy to guess which one....
when you are driving up the road you'll see a giant red dot and a big red circle.
when pennie and i pull up to the front of the store she unfailingly says "BALL."

waiting in line or 'queue' i have the opportunity to drop some eaves at the register (pennie wasn't with me so i was able to be nebby) there was a second cashier helping to bag. when she finished this is what happened...
cashier 2:  "okay, i'm going to meander"
cashier 1:  "what?" "where's that?"
cashier 2:  "no, i'm going to meander"
cashier 1:  "what do you do there, hike or something...."
cashier 2:  "no, i'm going to meander to the back, like, walk slowly"
cashier 1:  "i've never heard that word"
me:           "walk around aimlessly"
cashier 2:  "you know, stroll, walk slowly"
me:           "loiter"
cashier 1:  puzzled expression
me:            "it's a verb"

i hope everyone takes a couple of seconds to let the irony sink in....the irony that i was giving some girl a grammar lesson.  me, the queen of commas.  considering the location of this target i can narrow down what high schools this girl probably goes to and it's not giving me much confidence in the P.S. of where we live.

fortunately all i have to worry about now is slightly crazy sleeping:
