Where’s Your Sign?

Scene: Drugstore checkout counter, late morning.

I’m in a hurry, box of Shout-wipes and two dishtowels in one hand, six-pack of club soda in the other. My grey sweater streaked in dark brown, damp, smelling of hot-chocolate.

The clerk looks at me and asks with a smile, “Didjya spill something?”

Genius.
