Pink Tale #20, Floppy Hats
At Coburg FM
Two senior women, wearing big floppy hats, came to the stall to see what the fuss was about. SW1: Beetroot??
Me: Yes, beetroot muesli. (I hand them both a sample.)
SW2: Oh my God, that is delicious!
SW1: Ummmmm. Yum! Oooh I’ll have some of that!
Me: Thank you! There’s 2 more varieties for you to try today. (I hand them more samples)
SW2: Ummm. They’re good too!
SW1: We have decided to start eating healthy so this is perfect.
Me: I must warn you that they can be addictive. And this is not a diet muesli.
SW2: That’s ok so long as it’s healthy.
Me: It sure is. Beetroot has so many health benefits, it is a genuine superfood. (I hand them a flyer).
SW1: Ok, give me two of the Ginger. (Turns to SW2) One’s for you, a present.
SW2: Oh you don’t need to do that, but thank you!
Me: That’s very kind of you!
SW1: Pleasure! And I don’t even eat muesli. Thanks! (They show their PM to their friends who just joined them and they happily chatter away.)
