Things you don't expect to see while shopping

Today at lunch, I ran down to Michaels, in search of some scented candles. (Vanilla, in case you’re interested). I scanned the various types: votive, floating, tea-light, tapers…

And, there, on one of the pillars, I see something strange: a 3-inch long locust. A live one. WTF?

I carefully gathered him up and escorted him out to the shrubbery outside. I was tempted to ask one of the clerks how much the grasshopper cost, but I didn’t want to cause a scene.

So you stole it instead!?

Just the one locust?

Maybe they’d transgressed the teeniest of God’s laws and were being punished proportionately?

Thank you for putting the locust outside. I would have done that too.
