LOOPDIGGERS SPEED CHALLENGE N°91- VIDEO GAME EDITION

Every day, Frog Lady wears the same flower print dress and matching slippers. Every morning she comes into the store and slams two quarters down for a paper. Every afternoon she slams a dollar down for a chocolate milk. Then she takes a basket and fills it with items picked seemingly at random… But always two sodas. She grunts as she lifts the basket to the counter and says, at the top of her lungs, every time: “Could ya loosen the lids?" Every day I do. One day I got mad and told her that I knew exactly how she wanted it and that she'd have to ease up a bit. She looked at me and said, “I can never tell the difference between you guys anyway". Well, I looked to my co-worker and then back at Frog Lady and in a sudden burst of sarcasm I said: “Well, to start with, he's black and he’s got hair, and I’m white and I don't". She looked back and forth between the two of us and said, “Bullshit!” I felt pretty stupid so I bagged her stuff. Then she let out a scream, “Did ya double bag it"? Well yeah, I had, but that day she didn't believe me and she leaned forward and said: “If you ever lie to me again, I’ll sock you in the fucking nose." I thought about *that* for a while, and then I counted out her change. Well one day I saw her waiting at the train, she had a suitcase that matched her dress and slippers. You know, I guess Frog Lady isn’t that bad after all. Kind of a sweetheart, really.
