Sad Walmart story

Chow if needed. This one apparently made the leap from AOL to Myspace.

My wife sent this to me because she knows how I feel about chain letters.

You are going to cry after you read this sad story. A sister and her brother were inside the new Walmart built in town. The sister at six years of age,the brother seventeen years of age. The
brother was fixing to buy a present for his little sister on her birthday, but as soon as they were fixing to leave she had to go to the bathroom. Her brother showed her where it was, he started to look at some earrings she would probably like
for her next birthday. As he started to buy them he saw people running from the end of the store screaming and yelling with fear.Before he new it he smelled smoke and saw fire, he ran to his little sister as fast as he could but when he got to the bathrooms they were already on fire. He new he had to get out as fast as he could to get help. But when the firetrucks arrived it was already to late. Two days later the family got a call from the hospital saying they have someone there by the name of Sandy.They asked "How did you get this number"? The hospital said she was holding a purse in her hand with a card that said her name and number on it. The family drove to the hospital to see their little angel. While they looked at her, they noticed her arms were almost all the way burnt off, and her face was so burned it needed surgery. But the family didn't have enough to cover the bill. So now they need you to help out!

Note:: Every time someone repost this AOL will take away $2.00 off the hospital bill. DO NOT DELETE ! AOL IS TRACKING
THIS
repost this saying "sad walmart story"

I learned two things from this one:
1. AOL tracks Myspace bulletins
2. AOL owns a hospital

So for two days this family did nothing to try to find out what happened to the little girl? You think they would have checked the hospital or with the fire fighters to find out where she was.

And it took two days for the hospital to notify next of kin?

Hang on now: if her arms were almost totally burned off, how did she have her purse in her hand?

How can a bathroom catch on fire?

They noticed this while looking at her? You mean it wasn't immediately apparent?

You can't use earth logic when it comes to things like this. That's against the rules. You also can't use earth logic when it comes to fanbrats. The two are often one in the same when it comes to myspace crap.

Wow, this is one badly thought-out piece o' glurge. A few questions/comments:

...fixing to buy a present for his little sister on her birthday...he started to look at some earrings she would probably like for her next birthday.

Why not give the earrings to her today, since it's her birthday? If you already gave her a present, why are you even looking at them?

Two days later the family got a call from the hospital saying they have someone there by the name of Sandy. They asked "How did you get this number"?

Your precious 6-year-old family member is missing after a horrible fire. A hospital calls and says 'we have her here.' And your first response is, "How did you get this number?!?" Would you care? Wouldn't you just hop into your car and race down there? Did they stop to get the caller's name, social security number, supervisor's name, color of shirt, etc., too?

...her arms were almost all the way burnt off, and her face was so burned it needed surgery.

Her almost-burnt-off arms didn't need surgery?

Also, BlushingBride, that's a good point about the purse in her hand, when her arms were burnt off...but it is possible, if the hand was detatched and lying next to her, holding her purse, on the gurney!

Maybe Bobby Hill ate too much lutefisk, got sick in the bathroom, and used his grandfather's matches to hide the smell, tossing the matchbook into the trash and starting a fire.

Buckleupp that is so disgusting. Is it wrong that I'm laughing!?

You got that right. Writing this bad always makes me cry.

The brother was fixing to buy a present for his little sister on her birthday, but as soon as they were fixing to leave she had to go to the bathroom.

So did he buy it, or was he just "fixing" to buy it? Why were they "fixing" to leave before he got done being "fixing" to buy the present (which, I assume, means he bought the present.)

I'm fixing to smack somebody.

But when the firetrucks arrived it was already to late.

Except that apparently, it wasn't, because they found her. I guess "too late" in this story means they figured she was probably dead so they didn't bother looking.

The amazing part is that a 17 year old boy is willing to take his 6 year old sister shopping. I think most 17 year old boys would just sign the card for the present that his mom bought for him to give, or if he has a girlfriend he would have her pick it out. I see a LOT of teenage boys shopping with little sisters at the local Walmart. don't you?
I also would think that after the fire a lawyer approached the family and said "I can not only get your hospital bills paid but we will just sue walmart so we won't have to involve the corporation of AOL Hospital Services, plus we'll get lots more."

I'll save you the trouble...

That's two!

A sister and her brother were inside the new Walmart...

It could just as easily been a girl and her brother, but why leave room for doubt?

As he started to buy them he saw people running from the end of the store screaming and yelling with fear. Before he new it he smelled smoke and saw fire...

Instead of cluing him in to the danger, the people "screaming and yelling with fear" apparently made him lose track of time.

He new he had to get out as fast as he could to get help.

Because the rest of the people were just going to go home and blog about the fire at Wal-Mart?

But when the firetrucks arrived it was already to late.

Too late for what?

This one was probably made in the south. I hate the phrase "fixing to".

Oh, I certainly enjoyed making fun of the phrase "fixing to," but that wasn't my main gripe about that passage. If I translate it into GOOD English (sorry all y'all Southerners!), it would read:

The brother was planning to buy a present for his little sister on her birthday, but just as they were about to leave, she had to go to the bathroom. Her brother showed her where it was, he started to look at some earrings she would probably like for her next birthday. As he started to buy them...

Why were they about to leave before he bought the earrings? Did he forget he was going to buy them, and was only reminded when she had to go to the bathroom?

Details, details! The point is they were earrings.
