As they're closing the store, the employees are consolidating the merchandise, meaning things are grouped together that wouldn't normally be grouped together. I was in an aisle looking at school supplies (for the shoeboxes I fill at Christmas); in the same aisle was a man with his two sons, who looked to be maybe 9 and 6, looking at household stuff. The younger boy pulled a roach trap off the shelf and asked his dad "Can I get this?" Big brother told his little brother no, those were for cockroaches and Dad absently said "we don't have cockroaches". Little bro then immediately asked "Can we get one?".

I had to leave the aisle, I was laughing so hard. The dad, mortified, loudly repeated "We don't have COCKROACHES!", mostly, I believe, to convince me that their home is clean <g>. I wanted to suggest they could get Little Bro a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach--apparently some people keep them as a pet (which ew, no thanks)--but nah...
