Season 6, Episode 3 (PSA)
“I cannot wait to make my Christmas Krispies!” Sophia said as she and her special dude friend, Charles Dickens were heading to the Piggly Wiggly.
“I sure hope the Pig has marshmallows!” Charles said. “This is like the fifth store we have been too and each one has been sold out of marshmallows! This is insane!”
“What is insane is this year. What with this weird butt virus that the media is in a fire storm about, this presidential election that won’t ever seem to end, and the stores being out of marshmallows.” Sophia said and then sighed.
“I suppose it could be worse, after all we survived Obama”
“Obama wasn’t that bad” Charles said. “I mean I remember Jimmy Carter”
“You’re crazy!” Sophia said. “Now let’s get in there and see if they have those marshmallows”
As they walked to the entrance the store manager stopped them.
“Hi folks, we want you to know we value your patronage and we want you to be safe.” Jimmy Hart said with a smile. “As such we have gone to special effort to sanitize our restrooms and motorized scooters. Sadly we have been forced to remove our benches through out the store. Also, of note, we do have limits on items that are marked, but otherwise thank you for coming in!”
“Do you have any marshmallows?” Sophia asked. “Every place we have gone to seems to be out, I don’t know what’s going on!”
“We do, but we need to limit one per person.” Jimmy Replied. “We are not sure either, our suppliers promise us that more are on the way.”
“Well I need to make Christmas Krispies! I don’t know if one per person will be enough!” Sophia sharply said.
“Now sweetie, don’t get fiesty again” Charles said.
“Don’t get fiesty!?” Sophia replied. “Look how tall this guy is, you need boots just to listen to this guy!”
“Can I help you find anything?” Jimmy asked politely.
“Good grief, its like your brain has a connection with the wall paste, I need to know where the marshmallows are.” Sophia replied.
“Follow me, we have had to put them in the snack aisle” Jimmy replied.
Both Charles and Sophia managed to grab one marshmallow a piece and headed to the checkouts.
“Thanks for coming folks!” Jimmy said “Come back soon!”
“I tell you one thing, this marshmallow/butt virus/election better get over soon, I want to get back to writing the next great novel” Charles said.
“Who Cares!?” Sophia replied.
