Acting purely on impulse, last night I dragged Andy to the nearest Barnes and Noble to go on my semi-annual literary shopping spree. After a large meal we decided that we needed the walk anyway. With our new house (pictures will come, I promise) we are within easy walking distance to the book store. During the last few hours at work, the bus ride home, and the making and devouring of the meal, I had this song stuck in my head (yay Christian music). The song persistently stayed with me through the walk. Usually I use my “Asia” trick, but not with songs that I like. I allow them to be stuck in my head…because I’m sick.
Upon entering B&N, I headed directly to restroom (several glasses of water…you get the idea). I opened the door to the deserted bathroom and began singing the song out loud. On some level, I knew I was singing in a public place and I probably shouldn’t, but I continued to sing to the empty stalls.
About halfway through the song I heard:
“Ahem. You should probably know that someone else is in here.”
Yikes. I immediately flush, wash my hands, and leave.
Guess what, the song was no longer stuck in my head.

Awesome! Though I have to say that I expected your story to take a different turn than it did because any time that I am in a bookstore or library, I have to go to the bathroom in the worst way! Especially after your big meal, I expected something much different to happen (so singing is the better option).
And I am a faithful reader!
Thank you for giving me a good laugh! I really needed that today!
