Annabel was well aware that she tended to stand out like a sore thumb whenever she did go to stores and supermarkets. Even with that knowledge, she had spent far too much of her life in the shadows to change her particular brand of taste just to fit in. If anything, it almost made her smile; knowing that to most other people, it looked like a fairy or nymph from some tale had stepped out of her legend just to pick up some cleaning supplies from the drug store.

Even more so, living in such a small town, it didn’t come as a huge surprise for her to lift her head and catch sight of someone she knew; even in passing. “Hi, Thana,” she greeted the schoolteacher. “How is everything?”

Thana perked up when she saw that it was Annabel. “Hey,” she replied, grinning widely. It was nice to see someone that wasn’t someone from school or a parent. “You know, flu season and all that. I’m trying to prevent it if I can. I’m picking up some precautionary measures so to speak,” she said, holding up a box of vitamin C tablets. “You doing the same?”

It was that time of year that Thana felt like she needed to be dipped in hand sanitizer constantly. She loved teaching elementary school, but she didn’t love flu season and the kids were dropping like flies. She was sure that the school would be closed before the week was out. By some miracle she had managed to not contract the dreaded illness yet. However, she thought it might be wise to pick up some supplements and other products as preventative measures. She paced down the aisle of the drug store looking for some Vitamin C caplets, muttering to herself that she hoped they still had some and that she wouldn’t get sick.

🌜🍏

🌜- For a ‘weird’ habit or tic that no one knows about

“I count things a lot, and I don’t really realize that I’m doing it. I don’t know if this is because counting is so much a part of teaching elementary school or what, but I do it.”

🍏- For something they secretly wish didn’t exist

“I wish that hate didn’t exist. It’s cliche, but I’m tired of people being hateful and bigoted in this world.”

Linden was on the prowl to replenish her canvas and acrylic stock. The craft store wasn’t quite what she was used to as far as selection. Went, but it sufficed and got the job done. She wandered into the crafty supplies, though, playing with the idea of a mixed media artwork. She was looking over some feathers when a woman asked for her opinion on a project. She guessed she must have been a teacher or a mother, but she wasn’t sure which. Either way, she was happy to help. “Well, my first thought was to suggest getting enough for both,” she said as she studied the images on the phone.“ She smiled at the woman. "I think enough for both would be the safest bet because of different beliefs and whatnot. Both ideas are adorable, though.”

Thana nodded. She didn’t know why she hadn’t thought about doing both. “Both sounds like a better idea than just sticking to the one.” The holidays were always exhausting and exhilarating for her as a teacher. “The kids are super excited to make ornaments for the school’s communal tree, so I didn’t want to disappoint with a lackluster craft. Plus they get to take them home right before they leave for Christmas break, and I want the parents to have a good keepsake that they can show off to the family.” Thana wasn’t popular with the parents for nothing. Many of them appreciated her thoughtfulness with the kids.

Thana sighed in the craft store. Buying stuff for little kids for activities was always difficult. She was between ideas for the class ornaments that they would make for the school Christmas tree. Sometimes she was sure she had traded one form of motherhood for another. Instead of having one child she had twenty odd ones that were just as exhausting and brilliant and rewarding in their own little ways. It was a comfort in a way. “Excuse me,” she said to the first person she saw in the store. “I just need an opinion really quick.” She pulled her phone out of her phone and opened up her Pinterest app. “Which one would you rather make? These cute little button Christmas trees and wreathes or the bottle cap snow men?”
