Pez?

I am pretty sure that when people walk into my office they dont expect what they see. A matter a fact, i know this because it was said just yesterday. My office has wind up toys, stuffed animals and candy spilling over my desk. My take is that life is too short. It is over in a blink of an eye.  I will enjoy it and laugh and smile and find enjoyment wherever i can. I think its pretty obvious that is how I live my life.  So, in knowing this why would anything suprise anyone? A couple days ago while waiting in line at Wal mart, i spied pez dispensers on the bottom shelf of a rack in the check out line. My natural and first response was to excitingly say (in my head, of course) " oooo i love pez". But then my grown up side said "seriously? Your not fucking 10". As i stood in line with a box off Puffs plus lotion tissues for my sore and stuffy nose and packages of feminine products falling out of my arms (hey, i have a house full of teenage girls and i always REFUSE to get a cart stupidly believing i don't need one. I tell myself the lie we all are guilty of saying; Im gonna be in and out with only 2 items). I began the debate with my two inner voices. It was a very fast debate. I believe the childish side of me won by throwing a tantrum.  So, i bent down and looked through the rows of princess pez faces looking up at me until i found the one i wanted. The princesses werent calling to me. They had smug and pretentious smiles just because they were manufactured as royalty. Then i saw a plain little girl smile of what the package says is Strawberry Shortcake but i beg to differ. Thats the one.  So i piled my selections neatly onto the conveyor belt and carried them home. At work the next day, me and Strawberry Shortcake were ready to face the day. I decided to offer everyone who steps into my office a Pez. So when the unsuspecting victim walks into my office to discuss serious matters i listen closely. After hearing there request,  i pick up my trusty Pez and proceed to bent her little blond haired head back and pop one of the little candy treats into my mouth. As soon as i do this i tilt the dispenser towards my guest and offer  "pez"? This usually stops them in mid sentence. Then the question is who will win the debate in their heads?
