Last weekend, I was in a clothing store helping my brother pick out a new pair of jeans. (Apparently he is still unable to do that himself...) ;) Anyway, as I was waiting for him to emerge from the dressing room, I noticed a flaw on the nearby counter top that sent my level of sanity below the depths of the earth. (In case you were wondering, that's way past the point of insanity).
On an economy-sized bottle of hand-sanitizer, there read a sticky note: "Smile :) Your beautiful!" It was more than I could bear.
Not more than a few inches away from this terrorizing mistake was there an innocent pen sitting on the table.
I surreptitiously looked around me. My breathing quickened and I felt like my heart was going to pound through my chest. If you would like me to take this to an extreme level of hyperbolic narration, fine. There were beads of sweat forming on my forehead.
The dressing room attendant stepped away from the counter momentarily, and my chance had arrived. I picked up the pen and added an apostrophe and a letter 'e'.
Did anyone see me? No one is looking. No one is rolling their eyes. Hee hee. I guess if I would have gotten caught, then I could have said, "I'm just making you look like you rock at accomplishing standard grammar expectations." But I think I'm okay.
Sanity level: normal. The sign now accurately reads, "Smile :) You're beautiful!" ...but you're smart, too because you know the difference between "you're" and "your".
