A

Yesterday I was shopping for a few items (物品).With

nothing to do at home, my son, who just left university, was

ready to go together with me.

As I pushed the basket towards the register (收银机),I

checked my items to see how many I had, thinking I might

go to the Express Line (快速通道) where the sign said“Ten

items or less”.

I started to go to that line and my son said, “Mon, you have twelve items!” I said, “You know,

but they’re close.” He said, “Why are you in such a hurry to get home? You should go to the

Regular Line because you have over ten items.”

Knowing he was right. I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line. So I was waiting

for my turn there and I was just removing my items from the basket to pay for them when a young

man came up behind me in line with two items.

I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to get finished.
