SO
TODAY WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS THAT REMIND ME WHY I HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM ISSUES
AND LOOKING BACK ON IT NOW I DID KIND OF ACT LIKE A DUMBASS
So me and mom were at Walmart
I had to go and buy my little sister a belated birthday present (I hadn't seen her since October)
so it was a great excuse to go through the toy aisle and just so happen to look by the Transformers section
mom was looking at curtains so I took off to look for my sisters present/look at TF figures
They had a bunch of ROTF ones and a few TFA ones
BLITZWING WAS THERE
SENTINEL, WASPINATOR, AND SOUNDWAVE TOO
but what caught my eye was a tiny, tiny,
TINY Megatron
it was the Activators version
NOW, BASED ON

's journals about her figures, I figured Activators were pretty small
I didn't think they were THAT small
I laughed, possibly bruising Meg's ego and making him want to kill me
I wanted to buy it
so I brought it with me as I went back to looking for my sister's present
I chose the tiny Megs compared to the awesomely sexy Blitzwing cuz Megs was small and when I paid I could easily put him in my purse and hide it from mom until I got home
BUT THEN MOM CAME AROUND
In a panic I picked up a convieniently large Little Mermaid doll of Ariel (ALRIGHT NO MERMAID JOKES GOT IT >:[ ) and hid Megs behind it
so I show'd mom the doll saying "Maybe she'll think of me when she plays with it" since her, dad and her mom are moving to Florida
and she said
"Yeah! Now whats that other toy you're holding?"
DAMMIT
So in a blur I held it up in a second and hid it again saying "UMWELLIT'S SMALL SO MAYBE SHE CAN PLAY WITH IT DURING THE TRIP"
and mom started laughing at me saying "IS THAT FOR YOU? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" and laughed some more
My ego was brutally bruised, possibly murdered
cuz I'm used to being laughed at about anything and everything from everyone
and I do mean
everyonemy dog laughs at me behind my back, but covers it up as a sneeze

but for some reason this really hit home
i guess cuz we were in a public place and (to me) mom was talking and laughing real loud
and all I could picture were strangers and people I knew from my old school coming around and seeing and hearing everything and then make fun of me and all that paranoid shit
my face was beat red, and without thinking, I hid Megs behind some other dolls and walked away in embarrassment
I pretty much felt mom reach behind the boxes to see what I hid, and laughed louder
I walked around alone cuz I was too embarrassed to go face mom again, so I went and got toothbrushes and chapstick since we were there and I needed them
about 5 minutes passed before I felt calmed down enough to go back
I figured she would give me a heavy speech on how I shouldn't be buying kids toys and whatnot
and she'll think she's talking low when in reality she's shouting
I went back and looked around but didn't see her
and when I found her
I immediately regretted this whole mess I put myself in
a rage no plz account could show was on her face
she was
PISSEDagain trying to talk in a low voice but failing miserably, she threated
"NEVER.
EVER. DO THAT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR 15 MINUTES."
people stared
I felt even more embarrassed now
and she walked away towards the counter
and my first thought was
'...WAIT, WHY IS
SHE PISSED??? SHE EMBARRASSED ME IN A PUBLIC PLACE! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE MAD!!!'
so we payed and left
and thinking it over now, I guess it was my own fault
so I apologized, she chewed on my head a little more, saying I shouldn't walk away like that and such, wondering what I was gonna do with a toy, blah blah blah
but in the end I don't think she really cared that I was getting a kids toy
the last thing she asked about it was "Do you think it's fine and normal to buy things like that?" no real scorn behind it, just a simple question
and I said "I don't see anything wrong with it"
whatever, it's over now, and in the end, I'm an idiot
I'll make an excuse to go to Walmart alone one day and buy him then >:]And then I embarrassed myself again a few minutes ago by calling the wrong number
GOD I'M SO AWKWAAARD ;A;
hug plz????
