I haven't laughed this hard in ages

My sister Celeste and I just make each other laugh. We know just what to say or do to get the other one to crack up. She is that person who makes every situation fun, no matter where we are or what we're doing. Yesterday it was Kohl's.

We began our day at my house so she could take a look at our fabulous new kitchen lights. We gathered our purses and my 30% off Kohl's coupon. I popped a Sudafed and we headed out to begin our day of breakfast and shopping.

Halfway through breakfast, I noticed I was a little light-headed due to the fact that I took my Sudafed on an empty stomach. I told her about my dizziness and said if I started knocking things over or falling down in the store, that she needed to escort me out. We just laughed and continued with our pancakes.

While walking into Kohl's, I was slinging my backpack purse over my shoulders and touting its benefits. It frees up your arms for easy mobility. (This is especially handy on Senior Day when herds of old people are swarming the aisles and may have their eye on the item I want.) Like TMS says, my sister and I could have a 2 hour long conversation about dish towels, and our talk about the backpack purse and its pros and cons was no exception.

We headed to the newly stocked, very crowded Christmas area to admire this year's new ornaments when my sister called my attention to a candle or something insignificant like that. I turned in her direction and my backpack purse grazed a display behind me. That's when it happened. The slow motion avalanche of boxed Christmas cards tumbled down. As two older women stood and watched in horror-but never once offered to help-down they came. One after another they came...thud-thud-thud-thud-thud...and on and on. I looked over at my sister who mirrored me in a crouched position of silent laughter. Not silent because we were in public or anything, silent because we were laughing so hard that neither of us could make a sound. I was finally able to blurt out, "You were supposed to escort me out if this happened!" Her response? "I don't think I'll be getting a backpack purse anytime soon."
