The Bakery

Yesterday Shanna and I were heading out to a friend's house. We were planning to run errands on our way home.

Me: 'We should just go to the bakery now. We'll have to carry our bread with us but just to be sure we can get some.'
Shanna: 'They will be open when we get back.'
Me: 'Are you sure?'
Shanna: 'I'll look at the times but I'm pretty sure. (she looks) Yep, they'll still be open.'

Sidenote: Shanna is so good at not making me feel like an idiot when I can't figure out how it is possible that things can run so efficiently!!!!

Me: 'But what if they run out of bread?'
Shanna: 'They don't run out of bread?'
Me: 'They don't?'
Shanna: 'No' (as if this was a ridiculous idea)
Me: 'Even at the end of the day, they still have bread?'
Shanna: 'Of course.'
Me: 'What if they run out today? Would they make more? Or would they close since they don't have any more to sell?'
Shanna: 'They don't run out, ever.'
Me: 'Seriously? Well then what do they do with the leftover bread each day?' That was me testing her to see if she was really being serious or just seeing if I would believe anything she said
Shanna: 'They sell it for half price.'
Me: 'We should definitely wait until tonight so we can get it at half price!!' the words 'half price' always brings on a sudden change of heart

It's not my fault that I doubt the bakery. I can't help it. The one good bakery (for foreigners) in the Sandbox was always out of bread by like 3pm and then they closed for the day and if you didn't get any bread then you should learn your lesson and come back earlier the next day. They didn't make more when they ran out and the definitely didn't make more in the mornings so that they could sell more throughout the day. That always just blew me away...if you keep selling out of bread then why not just make more, then you wouldn't run out and you could make more money!! Seriously people.
