I so agree! In fact, just this evening I went to Henry's to buy some watermelons. I picked out 4 but when I got to the checkout the kid ringing me up said I could only buy 2 because they were on sale for $1.97 each. If I had known that I would have grabbed 6. Now that is a great buy and I can understand why Henry's put a quantity cap on them, BUT...I have to take watermelon to VBS tomorrow. The kid stood his ground on me only getting 2 but I'm older and smarter. I gave 2 to Sydney and told him to ring us up separately! HA...he had to think for a minute and then proceeded to tell me that that wasn't quite ok. Like I was going to back down...I don't think so. I told him about the 100 kids waiting for watermelon tomorrow and stood my ground. He gave in. I knew he would. He did get the last word in though and asked why I didn't just take the 2 watermelon and ask Christ to multiply it into 4 to feed the masses. We both had a little chuckle over his comment and then I walked out the door with my 4 watermelon :-)
A big bowl of watermelon on a hot summer day!
