Encounter

I just had an amusing encounter at the grocery. I was looking for an item on the shelf that I couldn't find. I was only vaguely aware of the two men coming toward as they argued about something. But when they got to me I heard one say, "Lets ask this lady which one of us is right." I thought this could be fun. I turned to them with a smile and asked, "What do you need?" The vocal man said, "Does sirloin steak come from a cow?" That is the last thing this old farm girl expected and I know my eyes got big with surprise. I answered, "Certainly, though it usually comes from a steer, not the cow, and it's one of the most expensive cuts. You asked the right person. I grew up on an Angus farm with 10 years in 4-H." The vocal man whooped and the other scowled. Then the looser said, "I still don't believe it." Someday my impulse will get me in trouble, but I can't help it. I was grinning ear to ear as I teased him, "I'll tell you what I tell my husband. It doesn't really matter if you believe it.....you're still wrong." He tried to scowl again but ended up grinning. And he told me, "Then I'm glad I'm not your husband!" I'm still grinning. I love little encounters like this.
