Zippers And Coins

Bought dozen  zippers at the department store only to find out that they are too small for the many bags that I made. I really need to purchase them in a fabric store. I had longer zippers that I bought from a thrift shop but they are longer in size and the colors are not coordinated with the fabric that I bought recently. Even the fabric is expensive. Not that I have to complain besides it was paid by my sister. The textiles.

I'd like to tell you that old story when I happened to shop at the local thrift shop. Only 3 zippers and because they are too cheap I paid them in cash and then the rest of the coins I dropped them one by one in their penny and silver coin containers. Then she looked at me and asked if I need a bag for the zippers. I said no need. Then I searched inside my shoulder bag if I have some coins and dropped some more quarters, and pennies and five cents. I can't stop. I looked at their "piggy banks" as a fountain making a wish. The lady asked again what am doing and I said, "it's heavy on my purse." I have to take those coins out from my bag and gave to the ----Actually that is not what I have to say but because offending or insulting somebody is not really my kind of motive.

When I was a child wayback 19kopong kopong I have to cover my mouth with folded handkerchief so that I would be able to blurt out something that can hurt other people. My tongue is like a sword that can slash with the language that I used. Yup, shogun! You know that I have slipped of the tongue or my tongue's so quick to quip to say something inappropriate but that doesn't mean being impolite. Then looking at her face half smiling but nodding , the possiblity that she knew what I meant. That's if she had ESP. Or else it's a double trouble.

Then out of that thrift shop while I was holding on to those long zipper on my hands, a man outside, a stranger was staring at me ...and what I have on my hand. Great! Now what?  Then I almost isntanteniously thought to myself...I should have asked for the bag.

Right on the total money that I dropped on those coin containers  is worth more than the 3 zipper.
