"Aunty style" #2

Husband was paying bill at cashier counter.
He used his own ball pen to sign the credit card receipt.
The wife noticed the signature on the receipt is not clearly seen.

Wife:"Is your ball pen no ink? The signature cannot be seen at the receipt".
Husband:"It is OK. It is still considered signed".
The cashier accepted and kept the signed receipt.
Wife:"You sure OK? Will got problem or not? Should you ask the cashier if it is OK?"
Husband:"..." (say nothing)
Cashier:"you are entitled to a free umbrella. Which colour do you want? Pink or green?"
Wife:(think for a while)"...pink."
Cashier packed all things and gave them to this married couple, and somehow forgot to give them pink umbrella.
Wife(to husband):"Why no umbrella? Didn't she mentioned just now that we will have the umbrella?"
The wife spoke Chinese and the cashier is a Malay lady.
From the wife's voice tone, the cashier probably noticed what is missing, and gave them the umbrella.
Then they left the store.

Alex and I were behind this couple, each person carrying 2 tins of Novalac baby milk powder, patiently waiting for our turn to pay bill. After we paid our bill and walked out the store, I told Alex:"if you detected I have early signs of 'auntyness', please remind me immediately. I don't want to be like her."

By the way, we also got a free green umbrella :D
