The other day I was at Total Wine and was looking for whiskey. As I entered the aisle I heard the man say "This is mezcal. Mezcal is made from an agave plant." I turned my head briefly to see that the man was talking to his two small children, a boy who looked to be maybe 4 or 5 and a little girl who was maybe a year or two younger than her brother (I assume). "It's spelled M-E-Z-C-A-L" he continued as I made my way past the mezcal section.

Unable to find the brand I was looking for, I turned around and started walking back the way I came. Just as I was leaving the aisle, I saw the man crouched down with his children on either side of him, pointing to a bottle on the bottom shelf saying "Now this stuff tastes bad."

I've finished my xmas shopping (I think...I hope) but haven't done any wrapping yet. I hate the holidays.
