Half-n-Half

I went to Wal-mart the other day (Fathers day) to get Fathers day presents for My dad and for my Kids dad. What's wrong with THAT picture? My dad wanted a lawn and garden tractor battery(!). yahoo I thought...at least it's something he wants and needs. I then went to every store in McCook and finally found it at Wal-mart...duh. The tall, young man who helped me was a real straight man. I asked several questions and finally had to admit my ignorance about "charging" the battery. He said "that's okay...you're half blond"...then I swear to God he said...as he looked down on my head..."and the other half is gray". He said it just as sweetly as if he were just passing the time of day and saying "Howdy". The whole store heard my shriek of indignation AND my threat! I was laughing about it on the outside...but on the inside I was feeling like SHIT. Yes my hair needs a dye job...yes I AM half blond and Damn It...I do have a lot of gray...AND I'm ONLY 37 years old. Shit. I need cheese cake...sniff.
