It was Katelyn's last day of work at Sunnyside Gardens and her crazy cousin happened to be in town. That crazy cousin is me, Kathryn. Anyway, Kate and I cooked a scheme where I would stop by her work and ask a lot of weird questions that would freak out her co-workers and other customers. Katelyn headed to work and I worked on my part of the plan. I decided to go big, so instead of just a weird customer, I became the crazy lady with the green glove. I dressed up in a ridiculous outfit and headed over with some undercover agents (Anna, Kristen, and Erin). When we got there, I walked inside and immediately heads turned. Katelyn was shaking her head and laughing in what I hope was embarrassment. I browsed the bird feeders and took one up to the register. There, I asked Katelyn why it was a "Funky Bird Feeder" and why they didn't have any normal bird feeders. All I wanted was a normal bird feeder. The other cashier was in shock and the customers were wondering why in the world I had one green glove on. Katelyn and I proceeded to look at the garden gnomes, the only problem was there was no singing or dancing gnomes. We went and looked at the fertilizers. There, I told the story of how my cat died because there was too much nitrogen in the fertilizer. People were really wondering what was wrong with me and Katelyn and I could barely contain our laughter. We looked at the trees that were too shady then Katelyn took the gnome back inside. I went back in to get a bigger gnome, but Katelyn had already told the other cashier by then who I was. I needed one more prank before I left, so I proclaimed her a failure as I left the store and went to find an oblivious co-worker. I saw a young man and asked if he could help me get my toy cat out of a tightly closed canister in my purse. He said he would. I told him I would have opened it, but I had to keep my glove on. It was my tribute to Michael Jackson. He said he would need a screwdriver to which I responded, "Why, can't you do it yourself?" He got it open, by himself (see I'm inspiring others to be their best selves) and I took my little cat out and went to the car. It was a very successful prank if I do say so myself, not only on Sunnyside Gardens, but Katelyn too, but she asked for it and I gave it too her in the most over the top way possible. And yes, this really is the outfit I wore the the store, in public.
