I tried to make some kids happy and ended up embarrassing myself and having a mild panic attack.
So I was at Walmart earlier tonight and I was walking through the electronics department with my dad.
Suddenly, two kids pass my left side. The younger brother looks about 8, and the older sister about 11 or 12. Even though there's a lot of people around I can clearly hear and see the brother say "Beep beep I'm a sheep, I said beep beep I'm a sheep!"
I smile to myself and laugh out loud and mumble something about a YouTube reference to my dad.
Well, then I tried to be spontaneous, which is something I normally never do.
I stumbled through the crowd and around the corner to the isle the kids turned down and said to them, "Meow, meow, I'm a cow, I said meow meow I'm a cow!"
I expected some kind of smile or at least... I don't know, recognition at best?
Instead they look at me with a combination of horror (omg why is this weird lady singing to me?) and unrecognition (they obviously didn't get the reference). Seeing the look on their faces, I immediately stumbled back in fear and ran into a couple's basket who was trying to get by then after them I cut in front of another person before finally ramming into my dad and hiding in another aisle.
My heart was racing and I was shaking for several minutes after. All because I just wanted to make a reference to a little kid....
