Yes, true love does exist in grocery stores. Among the fruits and vegetables of a friendly local market, 2 unsuspecting (well, ok) 1 unsuspecting produce clerk was about to meet the love of his life. That's how our love story began, in front of the bananas. Funny enough, a more "experienced produce clerk"- about one 25+ yrs. experienced clerk happened to "arrange" this meeting. This clerk was in fact of all people, my Father! The introduction pretty much went like this..."Tim, this is my daughter, Stephanie."
Tim: "hello" (sorting bananas)
"She is studying to be a teacher."
Tim: "hmmm..that's nice.." (still sorting)
You get the idea. He shook my hand while attending to an elderly lady who seemed to be overwhelmed in her vegetational choices. That was that. I was actually sort of intrigued at this produce clerk..he was completely aloof to the situation and seemed to be concerned more about the state of his bananas than meeting a young maiden with long hair. Maybe it was that he more so ignored me, or maybe it was his pair of black loafers he was wearing with no socks and an apron? Both so strange...I had to find out more!
