what was said at Party City...



My sister and I were in Party City last night. She was looking for decorations for my nephew's birthday party when we passed an end-cap full of Eclipse party favors on clearance. Since we just happened to be getting ready for our annual Twilight party, Lori stopped to check it out. We weren't planning on going all out with decorations for this party, because we both are on tight budgets. The main purpose of said parties are to laugh, eat, and get together with our friends... we just use Twilight as an excuse to get together. But Lori just couldn't pass up these deals. Everything was 2 dollars or less- table cloths, banners, plates, you name it. Since the theme of this year's party is actually Breaking Dawn, we wondered if Party City had any other stuff in stock. Not that it really mattered... Twilight is Twilight, to us anyway. But we were curious, so when a store employee walked by, we snagged him and had this conversation:

Lori: "Excuse me. Do you guys have any Breaking Dawn party stuff in stock?"

Party City Employee: "Um... I don't know what that is."

Lori (with a shocked expression on her face): "It's the new Twilight movie!"

P.C.E.: "Oh. I thought there were only going to be three of those movies."

Me: Oh, no. There's actually going to be five!"

P.C.E.: "Ugh. I actually think I just threw up a little in my mouth."

Lori: "You really need to know more about the products you're selling. Do you have any?"

P.C.E.(while looking at us as if we're "special" and then glancing down at our buggy, which was overflowing with merchandise stamped with Edward Cullen's image): "Uh. No. No, we don't have any."

And then he gave us another "look" and walked on down the aisle.


Classic!
