How Not to Have Babies

When I was at my first STORE, before I headed north, I had this encounter:

 A woman came in. She looked like she was in her mid to late thirties, and she was beautiful. Her features were petite and her hair was long, and by the cut of her clothes and her elegance I was surprised when it turned out she needed so much help. She had a slight accent, but her English was good, and she came over to me immediately. "I'm looking for a vibrator."

I nodded and asked for what and she stared at me. I smiled apologetically, "Do you want internal or external stimulation?" Blank stare. I wondered if her English wasn't covering these terms, or if she just didn't want to tell me. "Have you ever had one before?" She shook her head and I took her to the unofficial beginners section. It's mostly small slim vibes, I warn people away from the jelly as much as I can, and they're not too scary looking. I started talking about them when she nudged my arm and pointed at a display case for luxury models. "What are those?" I follow her point and smile, "Would you like to see?"

I thought she was just curious but when I showed her a Lelo she said "'l'll take that one." I blinked, since $130 is a lot to drop on your first toy. But she wasn't done. She pulled me after her like a satellite as she went through shoes and lingerie, and eventually we wound up by condoms. She looked at them pensively for a moment then asked, "What are these for?" I was floored. "Uhm, they're for wearing during sex...?" She picked one up and looked at the display for it. "These are condoms?" I nodded, trying desperately to think of a tactful way to ask if she knew how to use them. "My doctor says you have to use condoms to not have babies." I nod in horror and she starts throwing them in a bag, asking for suggestions. I point out ones we get good feedback on, and slip a pamphlet on how to use condoms we keep around for teens into her bag with a mumbled explanation of what it is. She thanks me and says, "Yeah, I thought five kids was too many, so I finally ask my doctor."

I nodded like it's typical for a woman in her thirties to have five kids but still have no idea what's making her pregnant. I was on the verge of giving her the birds and the bees crash course when another customer came in and instead she just had me ring her in. She spent almost a thousand dollars, and I'm sure it was put to good use, but I wanted quite badly to call her back and explain things to her.
