Tiny little wings clung to her back. Strange.<br \/>\nThey actually fluttered at the top of her crooked Arabesque.<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Ridiculous. She must have escaped,&#8221; I muttered.<\/h5>\n<h5>She glided to a fourth-position stop at the diet drinks and waved<br \/>\nHer blinking wand over the entire section.<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cWHOOP!\u201d echoed through the building.<\/h5>\n<h5>A platoon of shopping carts crowded the aisle behind her, cheering her on.<\/h5>\n<h5>I gawked. I could not believe the mass gullibility, and marveled that<br \/>\nNone of them bought any soda.<\/h5>\n<h5>She danced on toward the yogurt, gave an excellent Demi Pli\u00e9 at<br \/>\nThe balanced Ph water, and leaped toward me and the eggs.<\/h5>\n<h5>As she came near, I snorted my disgust for her obvious mental illness.<br \/>\n&#8220;There are no fairies in Walmart,&#8221; I called out.<\/h5>\n<h5>She pirouetted and stopped beside me, striking an elegant 4th position pose<br \/>\nAnd gave me a crooked smile. She waved her wand over my head.<br \/>\nIt blinked one, long, blink.<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Roger that,&#8221; she chortled to the wand, touching it to both my shoulders,<br \/>\nThen my head.<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Now, there you are,&#8221; she whispered, and winked her blue eye.<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Whoop!&#8221; went her entourage. She grinned lopsided, and executed<br \/>\nWhat might have been a Grand Jet\u00e9 toward the margarine.<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Crazy woman&#8221; I muttered as her platoon of shopping carts hurried to follow.<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cWhooping&#8221; echoed around the store each time she blessed a product<br \/>\nThat no one ever put in their cart, but some returned to the shelf.<\/h5>\n<h5>Surprised, I resisted the urge to follow, but my feet had a different agenda and<br \/>\nMy cart did a U-ie to join the mass. Then I realized that everyone was laughing<br \/>\nbetween Whoops. The gaggle of idiots was having a good time in Walmart!<\/h5>\n<h5>A tiny, white haired woman did a little hop and a skip,<br \/>\nHanging on to her rolling cart for dear life.<\/h5>\n<h5>The crippled man in the scooter tapped his toes and<br \/>\nWagged his head to an interior tune.<\/h5>\n<h5>The pregnant mom, with two kids in her cart, stopped and stared.<br \/>\nSecurely planted in the middle of the aisle, she gave out a mighty whoop.<br \/>\nHer kids followed suit and cacophony reigned.<\/h5>\n<h5>The fairy-wannabe-Pied Piper took a leaping left turn,<br \/>\nBlessing the paper goods from mid-air, and disappeared.<\/h5>\n<h5>I hung on to my determined cart as it dragged me behind her entourage.<\/h5>\n<h5>She twirled down the aisle, pausing to bless the plastic straws,<br \/>\nThen definitely the foam plates and cups.<br \/>\n\u201cWhoop!&#8221; rocked the metal roof.<\/h5>\n<h5>At the butcher shop, beside the long row of red, raw meat,<br \/>\nThe wand&#8217;s star blinked furiously.<\/h5>\n<h5>She stopped short. Shopping carts banged together, piling up behind her.<\/h5>\n<h5>In a frenzy, she waved and twirled and leaped and made agonizing sounds<br \/>\n\u2014Especially over the whole chickens on the rotisserie\u2014<br \/>\nThoroughly blessing each piece of dead meat.<\/h5>\n<h5>When the ensuing \u201cWhoop\u201d penetrated everything in me, I had to admit&#8230;<br \/>\nShe did quite an elegant blessing.<\/h5>\n<h5>As she executed another awkward Pirouette,<br \/>\nI saw a single tear escape from her brown eye.<\/h5>\n<h5>I froze.<\/h5>\n<h5>Catching my breath, I finally understood what she was doing.<\/h5>\n<h5>Whirling around, I forged upstream against the traffic,<br \/>\nLeft the wild whooping cadre behind,<br \/>\nAnd headed for the children&#8217;s department.<\/h5>\n<h5>This was too good an opportunity to miss!<\/h5>\n<h5>Rounding an end-dump on two wheels,<br \/>\nI nearly flattened a blue-haired Walmart partner,\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u2014With blinking lights in her hair, no less.<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Where are the wands and tiaras?&#8221;
