Adventures in Resale Shopping

Well, every week since before Christmas, Faith and I have been going to resale shops with a friend and her son. We have had a blast and managed not to spend too much money while still getting some really nice stuff.
But that's not my reason for this blog.
As we've gone along, we have had a few 'adventures' and I just wanted to share them with you guys.
On one occasion, Chelsea - my friend - and I were looking through the box of toys while Jayden and Faith were playing right beside us. Faith crawled into my lap and I started smelling a minty odor. I kept thinking, 'Did someone dump mouthwash in here or something?' Then I happened to look at my darling daughter and discovered she had a piece of gum in her mouth. From off the floor. GROSS!!!
Another time, (at the same resale shop, oddly enough) Faith wanted me to hold her and was a bit fussy, so I picked her up and loved on her. She nestled her head on my shoulder - and promptly spit up in my hair, down my back and on the floor. THAT was lovely! Chelsea had to help me clean it up, but after that, Faith was fine.
Then there was the wonderful time that we walked into St. Vincent's and were met with a loud harangue about the economy and this guy's job and how the 'Mexicans' are destroying 'our' workplace and a whole host of annoyingly loud opinions. We didn't stay long that time. Plus they wouldn't let Chelsea go to the bathroom. Big, pregnant and they said no. Can you believe?!
Oh and don't let me forget the time a man walked up to a woman he did not know and asked her if she ever made tamales and how much would she charge for a dozen. I was more offended than she was. I mean, he didn't know her at all and thought that just because she was Hispanic, she would have made them. She told him that she would charge like eight dollars and when he walked away, started talking to the woman with her in a low voice. The whole thing was so weird!
At two of our shops, they always give us or Jayden something for free. Mostly toys or a little thing, stuff like that.
I love resaling, as I call it. Since my friend's due date is Friday, I'm going out on Saturday after the FWAC meeting with LaJuana and the kids. Looking forward to it!
