I don't need anything

That's how women start. "I don't need anything from the store darling, you go on ahead".....and 2 seconds later...."just get me a red nailpolish, a muguet de bois 100 ml perfume spray and a 70 mm nail file with nail extensions pack".

You will be lucky if they stop at that. But no siree! They are just getting started. And perish, forbid, if they decide their "I don't need anything" list is so long they decide to accompany you to the store where you will come in handy indeed in carrying the stuff back home.

So one day, I was lounging around reading Harry Potter and stuffing myself with potato chips, listening to death metal and yakking on the phone all at the same time. A typical day in my life.

"Ah, nothing lah, just relaxing you know", I chimed into the phone.
"Shopping? Nah, I don't need anything."
"Ok, ok I'll accompany you"
"Where do we go?"
"Sure, pick me up at 3"

I left home at 3, and returned at 10, arms full of packages of "nothing".

Why? Well, I'm just being a woman.
