Dear Safeway Employee, Please Accept Our Apologies

While much of life is a lot grimmer shot through a cancer filter, some things are absolutely hysterical. Case in point: meaningless small talk!

Why are you laughing like demons?

Oh how the Coffeys have laughed knowingly at every service employee unlucky enough to ask "How's your day?" or "Having a good one?" Miranda and I chuckled darkly when the nice Safeway lady scanning our yogurt asked us "How is everything?" She was a bit taken aback by our laughter but smiled and added, "I guess I shouldn't have asked!" Just as Miranda and I were settling down the very nice and sweet and totally undeserving of this fine lady opined "As long as everyone has their health, right?" We guffawed. She looked about ready to have whatever security they have at Safeway escort us out.

Oh, Cancer! You're such a saucy scamp!
