Yall ever go grocery shopping Went to a local farmers market today to grab some groceries, everything was great until I had to get "shredded cheese" for a recipe I'm making, so I'm thinking, GREAT, it's going to be around hereee somewhere, why don't I ask a worker? no no, not doing that. Let me look it up online to see if it shows where in the store the item is... no that didn't work. So, thanks to my stutter, I'm grating cheddar cheese now, cursing myself, for not being able to ask where the "SHREDDED" because the stutterer I am, It'll go like, "h-h-h-h-hey, c-c-c-c-can yy-y-y-y-you shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhow me \*why is this dude shhhhhing me\* show me wh-wha-whe-whe-wheree t-t-t-t-t-t-t-the shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhredde-d-d-d-ed ch-ch-eeee-se is?" so, yeah, here I am grating my own cheese because I couldnt ask the worker where the shredded cheese was... -sigh- ​ Instead of beating myself over it, getting a good workout grating this cheese, and smiling because, it's just one of the cards I'm dealt :)
