What happened while my son was grocery shopping

I was telling some one else on here about this yesterday and they thought it was funny to. While nothing is funny about people having to do without because of selfish people that are hoarding, it would be hard not to laugh at some of the things these greedy people have caused. This is one of them cases. I was on the phone with my son while he was doing a little grocery shopping. This is my oldest son, the one that lives in Colorado, that I was telling about moving. As he was walking around the store, he was telling me what was gone and what was still there. Knowing that children are out of school and knowing we ate a lot of it growing up, I was teasing him and said " I bet one thing that is gone is the peanut butter" Sure enough, when he got around to the area it was at, there were only around 5 jars of any peanut butter at all on the shelves. My son was not being serious when he said this, but as he was getting a jar, he said to me " I better get a jar of peanut butter before it's all gone" Close by his at the time was someone that worked there and she said "There's no need to panic, we're going to restock the shelves" He said "I know, I was kidding and walked away. My son and I got a good laugh out of that to! Even in times like this, you can't help but laugh at some things! See what you greedy people caused! LoL

The stores around here are stocking back up and when I was at Walmart yesterday just to get a dollar pizza the Walmart truck came in..so tp was going up on the shelf and it was gone as fast as it went up...I just sat back and watched getting a good laugh out of it.

That's whats I'm talking about. You see what I'm saying, I think the only way people couldn't help but see some humor in somethings, is if they didn't have any humor at all. Oh yea, my son did say that was another thing that was about gone while he was shopping , all the pizzas. You can tell everyone loves pizza! lol Oh yes also, good thing I wasn't with you when you were there! We would have got in trouble, because both would have been standing there laughing together! lol

I think we all need to remember that the shelves will get restocked. And we need to laugh.

I do to, I guess that's why we thought it was so funny at the time. My son already knew they were restocking their shelves before she said! lol

Yes, all you can really do is laugh at this situation. Good Lord, hat is going to happen if this goes on for months..People can't seem to take even a bit of uncertainity in their lives.
