I went grocery shopping this weekend. I have these vinyl grocery bags that I bring to the store with me, so that I don't have to waste paper and plastic bags. I'm not changing the world or anything. It's easy to do and the bags are actually much easier to carry and very durable.

Anyway, I'm at Fairway yesterday, and I tell the woman that's bagging groceries that I have my own bags. The following is a transcript of the conversation:

Me: I brought my own bags.
Grocery lady: May I still bag?
Me: Of course. Here are the bags. (awkward pause) Thought I'd save a couple of trees, you know? Help the environment ...
Grocery lady: It's alright. When Jesus comes, all the trees will come back.
Me: Um, OK.

That's right: when Jesus comes, all the trees will come back. I wish I were kidding.
