"Are these shoes on sale?" she asked.
"The leather ones?" she added.
The sales clerk was from the Bronx. She said nothing but maneuvered her large bottom around the desk to look over her glasses at the shoes. She snapped her gum twice and replied, "Yeah, those ones are half off too. Yous should get two pair fa that price."
And so she did.
Acrylic nails clicked wildly on the cash register. The woman from the Bronx tilted her chin to get a better look at the customer. "You gots a little one at home?"
"No." She replied. "My baby is due May 19th."
"Is that so? Yous must carry your babies up inside. My girlfriend was like that too. Cept she got really big in the back, if you know what I mean. Yous look really good."
"Thanks" she said. "I work out."
With that, she took her little blue bag, with the new shoes inside and walked out into the sunshine.
Stumble It!
