Husband (DH) grouchy about sticker on wife's shirt.  Declares will get a second cart and meet outside.  Humph!  Walk into Sam's.  Must renew card and get replacement card for DH.  Girl behind counter does not act strangely when confronted with McCain/Palin sticker.  Can do this.  DH does not get another cart.  Good man.  Feel need to be good mom at Sam's and exhibit best behavior with DH while wearing sticker.  No snapping at good man.  Walking aisles.  Using calculator.  Marking list.  Forget wearing sticker.  Forget until in aisle with Harley Davidson-shirt man and wife.  Smile and apologize for taking up whole aisle.  Harley-man and wife smile and say no problem.  Surely have seen Sticker as shirt is plain pink and sticker is blue.  No comment about Sticker.

Boys need to move.  DH takes boys on tour of store.  Boys eat cookies.

Ask sample lady walking by for a few napkins as baby is wearing most of cookie.  Sample lady seems distracted by task, not put off by sticker.  Thank for napkins.  Wipe off baby.  Wipe off cart.  Wipe off baby clothes.  Pick cookie out of baby shoes.  Amazed baby manages to grow.  Some people notice Sticker as walk by.  No cursing.  No overt smiling.  Did see man with Texas Aggie shirt and told him shirt was excellent.  Aggie shirt is excellent.  Clearly.  Talked about game today.  No comment about Sticker. 

In check-out line.  Couple with two preschoolers get in line next.  Not very friendly.  No smiling.  Seem wary.  Couple Dad goes to get samples.  Little girl drops meatball and dad tells her to be careful, not in Nice-Dad voice, but in Grouchy-Dad voice.  Notice Dad does not bother to look for meatball and leaves it on the floor.  Surely not a Republican.  Offer them extra napkins as clearly napkins are needed.  Smile thank you but don't clean up mess.  Don't comprehend that kind of behavior.  Maybe are Liberals and Sticker has sapped them of powers? 

Woman in front has tried to use formula coupons at Sam's.  One cannot do that.  Poor thing.  Embarrassed.  Taking a lot of time.  Finally finishes. 

Smile at check out lady.  Check out lady is African American.  Big smile received.  Very nice, happy lady.  DH and boys go to van as boys are losing minds and DH has had enough.  Check out lady tells me baby will have no problems when older as baby has vvvv long eyelashes.  Much smiling and laughter and small talk. 

Leave building.  DH getting van to load.  Holding long-eyelashed baby as she is now fussy, long-eyelashed baby.  Can't load or move cart expertly through parking lot without DH when fussy, long-eyelashed baby in arms.  Cart very heavy.  Baby not aerodynamic.  Talk to stranger while waiting.  Stranger has 3 flat-bed carts preparing for concession stands for ball games.  Says "I really like that sticker."  "Thank you."  "I like her a lot better than I like him."  "I like her, too.  I've been concerned about getting cursed at wearing this sticker."  "Nahh, not here, maybe somewhere else, but not in Texas."  *Gasp*  First actual exchange about Sticker is good! 

Put non-aerodynamic, fussy, long-eyelashed baby in car seat.  Load van with DH.  Chatter with boys.  Drive home. 

So, took three days for sticker to warrant comment (without help of baby trying to eat sticker thus necessitating comment).  No negative comments.  Yet.   Feeling emboldened.  Can have conversation with stranger about sticker.  Hoping Sticker will inspire votes for McCain/Palin.  Not going anywhere but to couch this afternoon.  Maybe grocery shopping tomorrow.
