Triggers in the most unexpected places

I told a few close friends about this today, because I pretty much had one of those moments where I thought I was completely crazy.

I was with Sadie at Walmart (of all places) and we were shopping for veggies for a homemade pizza I was going to make later that night. I only had a $20 bill with me, so I had to be mindful of how much everything was costing us. I grabbed some green peppers, then a bag with three onions and weighed each one to get an idea of the price.

When I put the onions on the scale, it tipped just over two pounds. Actually, they weighed exactly 2lbs, 2oz - Sawyer's birth weight.

I was just standing there, holding the bag as it swung slowly, back and forth.

These stupid onions. These god-damned stupid onions!

I stood there with the bag in front of Sadie, tears in my eyes, asking her "How can these weigh as much as Sawyer? HOW?"

So I threw one back. I didn't want that last onion.

Triggers.

Mine were three onions today.
