Fun folks of the week :)

Original Vintage Watercolor :)

1. Grandma with teenager: It's raining for the first time in ages and the thrift store is so full, there's some sort of "valet" parking in the lot. A grandmother and grandchild wander through the store following an employee, asking if she can cut them a deal on a blazer. "I'm on a fixed income!" the grandmother keeps saying, over and over and over again. It starts to make me ill. The employee is so great about it. "Ma'am, you can come in for a few hours, and we give you $17 worth of clothing credit." It's actually a super good deal. You can do it for food credit too. They have all kinds of different ways to help people.

2. Man in vest: A man in slacks and button down with tie, all under a fleece vest, with an employee tag on a lanyard around his neck. He looks like a person with a job who is wandering Salvation Army on a break. But he won't stop talking, exclaiming loudly over the prices. "Can you believe this?!" shouted to anyone nearby. This last for about ten minutes, and an employee starts to follow him and laughing-shout at him, "You need a meeting! Go to a meeting! You need to go to a meeting right now!" It was like Abbott and Costello: pure comedy. Who even knows what kind of meeting this guy needed to go to.

3. Tiny Superman: A 3-4 year old boy runs through the thrift store in a superman costume that's too big for him with a huge smile on his face. I couldn't help but grin at him :)
