Okay... So, I get a call from my dad's girlfriend. She wants to go to the store to get my dad something, and asks me if I'd like to go too. Of course, I accept, because I haven't done my christmas shopping yet for my dad, and she knows him very well... more than I do lately in regards to what he might like.
So we go, and we buy our gifts.
End of story. Wasn't that a great miracle?
No wait. So its not the end. Anyways, we go into the parking lot, and we put a big box of a gift that I was going to give my dad(doesn't matter what it is). I push the cart over to the cart holder, and we get in the car and go.
We're driving home, and as i'm putting this big bulky gift into my house, I tell her, "Hey wait, don't close the back door yet... what about the other gifts?"
She asks me, "I thought you already brought them in.".
"Umm... no, I was lugging this heavy thing. Are they not in there?"
So... the gifts weren't in there! Panicking, I locked the door and we jumped back in the car and drove back to the store. Yelling at ourselves, "****, ****! How could we do that?" We pull to where we parked... in the busy, crowded parking lot. And well... there's the cart holder thingy, but no shopping carts where I put it. I kicked myself, because *I* was the one who pushed it in there, while she closed and locked the back door. But how could I forget the gifts? There were three small bags, about 80 bucks worth of gifts in there! This would be the first time in my life i've EVER done anything like this.
We go inside, to the customer service. There's a long line.
But wait! We spot a bag on the counter and my dad's girlfriend screams, "That's it!" I had my doubts, but we skip past the line, and look through the bags. Sure enough, its our stuff. Informing one of the employees, she says, "Yeah, a guy just brought that in here.". We showed her our receipts so we could prove it was our stuff... and there we had it!
I just can't believe it. We go and shop for gifts, and we end up home with just ONE of them. We feared the worst. Hell... somebody probably already stole it, cause it wasn't there. I had little faith we were gonna see it again, and lose 80 bucks with nothing to show for it. But some kind soul managed to find it... take it in the store, give it to a clerk, and really really put the happiness in me.
If I knew who this person was... I would have taken them out to dinner, but alas I do not, so they'll just have to live with the good feeling that they did something great.
Anyways... that was my little christmas miracle. Huge crowded store, crowded parking lot. 99% chance it would have been gone, and someone would of had free christmas gifts. But nope, someone came through for me!
