It's not often that I get down to my local Walmart. It's probably only four or five miles away, but the Smiths is much closer. However, there comes a time when you want to buy bug spray and cilantro, and Walmart comes in handy...
So the other day my roommate and I decided to pay Sam Walton a visit. She needed some self tanner, and I wanted to buy a dress I had seen there...for five bucks! Love Walmart. We also found some other items that we probably didn't need, but wouldn't have the luxury of finding at a regular grocery store.
In the checkout line we were behind a guy that was making some rather interesting purchases. He had several cans of tomato paste, two loaves of the cheapest bread, a package of chicken drumsticks, and some pieces of meat that did not look like something I had ever eaten. He was a college student and packed all of his groceries in a backpack for transport. We checked out and then got in the car I asked Jenni if she had noticed the boy. She had and as we turned the corner I saw him walking. I suggested we offer him a ride and Jenni agreed. I said, "Don't worry, we're normal, you don't have to ride with us if you don't want to."
He got in. He was a student at LDSBC named Inny. He was from Nigeria, and he lived with several others from there. He seemed like a really nice person.
It made me remember when I was in school buying oatmeal and beans. Those were the days. Now I buy greek yogurt, blueberries, and self tanner.
