[WP] A bag of groceries forgotten at checkout	* Six apples. * A jar of peanut butter. * Robitussin. * Quart of milk. Who buys a quart of milk? They must live alone. They can’t drink a gallon of milk before it goes bad. They buy a quart instead. 2%? Why do something halfway? Skim or whole is my philosophy. Peanut butter. Full of protein. Filling.

[WP] A bag of groceries forgotten at checkout	Nina had almost finished her eight-hour shift at the grocery store she had grown to detest so much.

From the moment we were born, we were best friends even though we were opposite genders. He was six minutes older than me, but I was taller than him for years. I always laughed when he corrected people who thought I was older simply because I was taller. We looked nothing alike, but that didn't m...	6	6	31,905
