I went to Wal-Mart today. I know, I know! But I did it anyway and I'll just have to live with myself. As we were walking in I glanced at the wizened, angry face of the Wal-Mart greeter (I rarely look them in the eye for fear of being turned to stone) and noticed that he was singing along to something on the radio. I listened, and heard, "... sparks ignite, and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting."
Now, I always feel a touch unclean when I leave Wal-Mart, but after viewing the world's second or third angriest Wal-Mart greeter singing along to the Starland Vocal Band (it is apparently possible to be angry and sing Afternoon Delight, didn't know that), I felt positively soiled. I couldn't even use the same door
And now, of course, I can't get the song out of my head. I've been singing this stupid song all afternoon and I'm quite alarmed at how much of the song I know. But the worst part is that I've spread this terrible virus to my four year old. In the midst of all of her singing and dancing and princess-ing (if you've seen her do it, you know it's a verb) I distinctly heard, "skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight."
Ugh.

I wish your blog had a *like* button like Facebook, because I'm not clever enough to come up with a fun way to say "you're funny. Write more please."
My first comments! Thank you so much. I've been enjoying doing this. It's a much needed outlet.
