No... Really...

Dear Wal-Mart Customer Service Manager,

It is with great embarrassment that I am writing you today. On March 30, I was in your store with my three monsters children. As I was going to check out, my two year old was in the throws of a temper tantrum and I was trying to get out of the store as quickly as possible. The clerk who helped us was exceptionally helpful in expediting our departure because I'm sure she was just as sick of listening to him scream for cookies as I was.

In my haste, I inadvertently neglected to put the box of Orajel Toddler Fruit Splash Training Toothpaste on the conveyor belt. It was underneath my daughter's car seat which was in the back of the cart; I didn't notice it until I was putting everything into the car. Because I value my sanity, and I would like to be welcome back in this store some day I made the quick, albeit illegal, decision to take the toothpaste and make amends at a later time. Hence, this letter.

Enclosed you will find a picture of the box pulled from your website along with $3.50 which should more than cover the cost of the toothpaste. The UPC number for the item is 0031031033973.

Please accept my deepest apologies. I can assure you this will not happen again.

No... Really... I sent Wal-Mart $3.50 in cash with a handwritten note and a picture of the toothpaste box. I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Lesson learned: Do not venture to Wal-Mart (or any other store, for that matter) with three children under the age of four who have not had a nap.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
