Overheard in Caldwell County: April's Edition

Champagne Wishes & Caviar Dreams
April loads a can of organic baby formula onto the checkout stand at drugstore.
Teenage Register Kid with 3 pack-a-day voice:  Dang lady, yer baby’s got expensive tastes.
April:  Well, this is just to supplement nursing so it will last a while.
Register Kid:  Still… you should try an’ make yer baby like something cheaper.
April:  I’ll take that into consideration.

Just like Jane Goodall & the Chimps
April: Do you have any hobbies or interests?
Teen girl:  I like to do stuff for the environment.  Like, I drink a lot of Cokes in the white cans 'cuz it helps save the polar bears.
April:  Oh.

Do They Make a Supplement For That?
April (upon entering health food store):  Hi, I’m looking for the homeopathic teething medicine for babies.
Middle aged clerk (Simpsons Comic Book Guy doppelganger):  There (points at shelf)… I fixed it so I can’t have kids unfortunately.
April (trying to not make eye contact):  Uhh…yeah?
Middle aged clerk:  Yeah, me and my friends used to do things that made Jackass look like a bunch of grandmas.  My friend and I jumped our dirt bikes at each other one time, and they locked up together.  My leg got caught, and even though I was wearing a cup, it shattered and my testicles got jammed up into my body.
April (studying the fish oil intently):  Ouch.
Middle aged clerk:  Yeah they had to take a metal hook and pull them out of my abdomen (pantomimes said operation at groin)… and I hurt my ankle too.  I had to walk a mile and a half out of there ‘cause they couldn’t get an ambulance to me.  You know anything about the Jersey Turnpike?  We were riding on the marshland beside it.  Yeah, I remember every step of that walk…
April (quickly hands money to clerk):  Thanks, have a good day.
