Pink Tale #23, Good Neighbour
At Woodend FM
Heavy foot traffic in PM’s aisle, many sampling, some buying, all oohing, ahhing, ummming (those lovely sounds I cannot get enough of). During a brief lull in traffic, two stallholders in front of me both selling gourmet goodies, came over separately for a taste.
SH1: I just have to taste this, so curious! (I hand her samples)
Me: You’ve been listening to my spiel all day, you could sell my stuff! (we share lolz)
SH1: Ummm, that is good! Hard to choose now.
Me: Get one of each! (smiling)
SH1: I’ll get the ginger and the coconut caramel for starters. You’re here next month, right?
Me: Sure will!
SH1: Great! Thanks!
Me: Thank you so much!
SH2: My wife sent me over to try them.
SH2Wife: I already know I’ll like them! (She says from her stall, as I hand samples to her husband.) SH2: Oh they’re all good!
SH2Wife: Which one did you like best?
SH2: This one has a nice ginger hit! I’ll take one please.
Me: Small or large?
SH2: Just the small one.
Me: I hand him a small bag. (He returns to his stall with the small bag.)
SH2Wife: Oh that’s not enough! That’ll disappear in no time, get the big bag. (SH2 returns)
SH2: I’ll get the big bag then. (we all share lolz)
Me: Thank you so much! Enjoy!
SH2 chorus: We will!
