sweet sorrow

Today I was in Walgreens and they were having a bake sale near the checkout -- for some local school, I'm thinking.  No, they were selling homemade cookies and brownies to benefit juvenille diabetes.  That struck me as funny, or tragic, so I asked the cashier if they were at least sugar-free.  He said no, the staff had made them, so he was pretty sure they weren't.

huh.

I couldn't quit smiling.  I had to make sure I wasn't seeing things: "You're............selling desserts.....................for juvenile diabetes?"

Now he gets it.  "Is is diabetes?" (Looks at sign.) "huh."

Yeah, huh.

Did I mention this was a drugstore?

huh.

No, I did not have a camera.
