I bought cat food for my dog yesterday

I decided on my lunch break to go to Petsmart to get DOG food for Jack. But instead I bought cat food. You heard me right. I bought cat food for my dog and now your probably wondering why? Let me try explain what goes on in my little head. :)

So Jack, is on a special food. We found out that they sell that kind of food at Petsmart. Which was convenient and a little cheaper. So I grabbed a big bag and stood in a long line. There was only 1 choice for a cashier.

When it got to my turn the cashier asked me if I had a prescription for this "cat" food. I panicked! What? A prescription? Cat food?! The line was really long behind me and I said what was the first thing that came to my mind...

"Oh, I didn't know I had to have my prescription. I think I left it at home."

At this point all I wanted to do was to get out of there as fast as I can! I was embarrassed and I felt a little guilty, like I was trying to buy a bag of food w/o approval. How could I do such a thing?!?

I had a prescription. It was at home. But it wasn't for CAT FOOD!

She began telling me why they require it. What the food is all about. How it works, etc etc etc. I told her, "No problem. I'll just go home and get prescription and I can leave this "cat" food here and get it later!"

I guess she felt bad for me. Maybe she saw the fear on my face or how it was bright red. So she said, "I'll tell you what. I'll let you get this bag of CAT food this time. But in the future make sure to bring the prescription"

Well, wasn't she nice!

So I found myself in a bad situation.

a. do i fess up and say oh i meant to get dog food and risk the chance everyone in the line and the cashier would think I was lying about the prescription or that I had brain trauma in my childhood.

OR

b. Buy the cat food.

Guess what I did? I took option b and now i have a $50 bag of cat food.....

This is the story of my life.....

Now I have to go back and return it.....

Why do I do these things to myself.....
