hmmm… what?
We’re going to Wal-Mart.
18Nov2005 Filed under: Days Go By Author: ValPlease, do not say any of the following things to me:
“We’re going to Walmart.”
“She’s at Walmart.”
Because if you do, the conversation’s bound to end up like what Sarah and I had a couple of weeks ago:
V: Where is she?
S: At Walmart.
V: Where?
S: At Walmart.
V: Yes. But where.
S: At. Wall. Mart.
V: I know! But which one!!?!!!?!
Or like the one a few minutes ago with my brother:
V: Where are you going?
M: Well, we’ll be going to Walmart.
V: Where?
M: Walmart.
V: Yes, but –
M: Walmart.
V: I know, but –
M: Walmart.
V: WHICH ONE!!?!?!?!!?!
M: What?
We live within a half an hour of three Walmarts. Within 45 minutes of another five. Within an hour of another four or so.
Please, please, don’t try to confuse me like this.

Um…Val, it could be far worse. I live next to the Wal-Mart MAIN home offices, and I live within 10 minutes of their new David Glass Building, and I also support Wal-Mart on a business level. My company makes certain parts of their systems are working at all times.
I live within 2 minutes of one Wal-Mart, I work exactly between 2 different Wal-Mart’s (15 minutes either way), and they have about 15 Neighborhood markets here now.
Alternatively, when we say we’re going to a Wal-Mart, “which one” actually means “which Country, state, city, zip code, and address” because it could be any Wal-Mart in the US, Canada, Japan, China, UK, England, Soon to be Australia and Singapore, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Germany, etc..
So it could be worse…..
Ironically, growing up, and living back in Memphis, no one knew what the heck a Wal-Mart was. We had Kroger’s, K-Mart, Target (gawd I love that place), Piggly Wiggly, Price Cutter, and any number of other places similar to those.
Now, it’s all I hear about Day In – Day Out.

[...] Bob Newhart made things confusing enough. You have to feel for Valerie at Spoken For: A Love Divine. After all, what can you do when you’re surrounded and the march of Bentonville Behemoths are encroaching like crabby apple trees circling Annette Funicello? [...]
