Finding a husband

So this one is a bit late, but I wanted to share my fun times with you.

For Christmas, I asked for one of those "husband" pillows that allow you to study on the bed or floor while putting your back at ease. While my mom and I were shopping at one of the department stores she greeted one of the employees and wished them a Merry Christmas (she likes to say hi). The employee asked my mom if there was anything she was looking for and my mom looked at me. I quickly foresaw how this conversation was going and walked quickly towards the back of the department area.

"Yes, I'm looking for a husband" my mom replies. The employee looks at my mom with puzzlement and a blank stare hoping for a little more explanation. A second employee, a young man, tries to come to his co-worker's aid and asks what my mom what she is looking for. "A husband" my mom replies again...and then add quickly "its for my daughter" and shouts my name and beckons me to awkward conversation. At first I just stand there pretending I didn't hear the previous conversation and the employees are just starting at me.

After a few moments, my mom asked me if I was looking for a husband, to which I quickly try to explain the pillow while walking backwards towards the exit sign. When they realize I'm not actually looking for a man, there seems to be a break of tension and the first employee starts shouting how they are no husbands here but maybe at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

To this date I have neither a human husband or a pillow husband but the happy memory of looking for one fills my heart. Perhaps I should get one of those Anime Body pillows like James Franco had on 30 Rock .... :)
