I love your story - its so funny, plus the vivid writing gave me all the images to bring it to life.

I share your love for Christmas shopping and the large family, so I can really identify with this excellent story.

Mrs. KT,

It is so strange but about this same thing happened to me one day at Wal-mart in Austin. I was walking out the door and the alarm went off! I was instantly surrounded by four men who asked me to step back into the store. I did and they went through my bags.
The checker had forgotten to turn off the thing in my condoms and that is how the alarm got triggered!

The receipt showed that everything was payed for and they let me go. My boyfriend, Steve, said that they had certainly got the wrong lady because I have never stolen in my life!

I found only one SPAG-

(A) before I knew it, they were laughing, too. All three of them.

**And

Thank you for sharing this wonderful little tale!

Love you,

Oatmeal

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is hilarious! I loved every minute of this delightful read.

I'm so glad I took time to read just one more story before I go to bed. It's always great to go to bed laughing.

Your writing is exceptional. I would love to read more of your work.

One little nit:

A (should this be and?) before I knew it, they were laughing, too. All three of them.

Best Regards,
Ellen

This is extremely well written story, It captured my attention then it made me think, almost cry and laugh at the same time. I must say you know how to use your gift and talent. I dont what else to say. This made me really rejoice in the fact that I am a member of fanstory.
I dont care how much I read and review. The talent on this site is simply amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

I really enjoyed your story and found it very humorous. I laughed, felt the embarrassment and then the relief. The sign of a well-written story. I will remember it the next time I am in a similar situation and try to view it with the same good humor!

What a lovely story! I didn't think I'd like it, but you really dragged me into it and kept me there until the very end.

I am not one for Christmas shopping, it's in the middle of summer (in South Africa at least), the shops are busy, everyone's cranky (because it's so darn hot!) and a generally miserable time is had by all :). I must say I quite enjoy wrapping presents though.

Thanks for a great read, I was so wrapped up in the story I forgot to look for SPAG and nits ;)
