pickles and ice cream

the classic pregnancy craving....well, today I was craving ice cream b/c my hubby dearest suggested that we get ice cream and pizza for tonight. It's uncanny that when he suggests something, I suddenly want it. Well at one point tonight I went to look in the fridge for something to snack on (not yet having gotten the ice cream b/c we got pies with our pizza instead) and I saw a can of zesty dill pickles which I have to say I did not much care for. Still having the ice cream craving, I told hubby w/o thinking that I wanted to go to the store for pickles and ice cream. I had to laugh at myself b/c as soon as I said it, I realized what it sounded like.

When we were leaving to the store to get said pickles and ice cream, I told hubby that the person at the counter was gonna give me a funny look seeing the purchase. He said "nah, probably not..." well we got to the store, and I found the items I wanted to buy...I had other items I wanted as well, but decided that I was too low on funds to get them and that I just wanted my snack items.

I got up to the counter, and there was a guy that rang me up...he rang up the pickles first and then the ice cream, and then he gave me a knowing sideways glance....I couldn't help myself, I had to laugh and I said "I know what it looks like..." and hubby chimed in telling him I'd been wanting the pickles for awhile, and the ice cream I wanted for desert tonight. The cashier then told me that his wife had that craving with their oldest son....and then proceeded to tell me that she would keep a bowl of dirt beside the bed and take a lick of dirt before bed each night.

Hubby and I had a good laugh the whole way home about the awkward look he gave me upon seeing my purchase.
