Ladies, Hold on to your purses!

I have to share my crazy experience! I just got back from Wal-mart this morning. It was a crazy place at the Covington Wal-mart...especially because they are not back to regular hours and everyone is trying to re-supply because of the power loss from this past week. So it was definitely ridden with crazy wild people that had come out from their hiding places. ( I know, that sounds ugly, but you know what I am talking about!) I had taken Collin with me. I had gotten a decent parking space close to the entrance. I got out of my mini-van, and grabbed a shopping cart and pulled it up to the door where I was going to get Collin out of. I had grabbed my purse and Starbucks drink of course and put it in the cart before I got Collin out of the car. I opened Collin's door and the whole time I was watching my cart. I saw two men walking on the other side of the street and one of them was eyeing my cart. I thought to myself, "I know he is not thinking of coming over and taking my purse!" But yes, indeed he was thinking that. The guy gestured to his friend to my cart, left his buddy and slowly walked right up to the cart and was about to reach in and take my purse...when I walked right up to the cart and looked him dead in the eye. He lost his nerve and walked back over to his buddy and went into Wal-mart to shop...or possibly search for women like me who were tending to their children and might possibly leave a purse out in the open! He must have thought I was too busy with the baby to notice what he was trying to do. Maybe he was going for the Starbucks drink....but I think that is rather unlikely! I went into Wal-mart with my purse on my shoulder and told a Wal-mart employee. I told him that I simply could not believe it...He told me, "Oh, believe it sister, you have no idea what people around here will do!" That was a little unsettling! The employee told his manager about the incident. I also told any women that were shopping that I saw that had their purses in the seat part of the cart that took two steps away to get something off of the shelf....which is what I always do too....that those two men were still in Wal-mart, shopping and to beware! Anyway...hold on to your purses ladies!!! Have a great weekend!!
