A Win For The Trojan Marketing Team

My husband once bought a pregnancy test and a bottle of vodka. The checker said, “If that is positive, you’re gonna need that” as he gestured to the vodka. Classic.

This made me think of an incident when you were almost three, I still looked about 16 (I always looked younger than I was back then) and I was about 7 months pregnant with your sister. Somehow condoms ending up in my basket without my knowledge until the checkout line. Mind you this was in the day before these items were behind locked doors , just higher on the shelf were a kid in a basket could reach when a mom is not looking, and the cashiers actually emptied your basket. When I saw the cashier ring up the expensive item, because I was watching the register total very closely not what was being unloaded from the basket, I cried out “what was that, Oh those aren’t mine” (obviously). You quickly turned in the seat of the basket and to talk to your imaginary friend whose name happened to be Boyfriend and without missing a beat said “Boyfriend I told you not to put things in the basket” “I wanted to laugh, to cry, to have the floor upon up a swallow me. The cashier, an older lady, was trying so hard not to laugh, as you were very sincere in scolding Boyfriend. It was an awkward moment for sure. It was one of those mom moments that was engraved on my mind and will always be remembered as clearly as if I were watching it play out on a video.

That is awesome! If the Trojan marketing team was smart they would run with this idea for their next campaign.
