left university, was ready to go together with me.

I started to go to that line and my son said,“Mon, you have twelve items!”I
said,“You know, but they’re close.” He said,“Why are you in such a hurry to
get home? You should go to the Regular Line because you have over ten items.”
Knowing he was right. I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line. So
I was waiting for my turn there and I was just removing my items from the basket

I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to
get finished. Again, my son came up.“Mom, he has only two items and the Express
Line is very long now. Won’t you just let him go first?”I agreed, and the young
man smiled widely and thanked me several times.
