What?!
What kind of title is that for a blog post anyway?
Hmmm, the way I understand it, is that blogs are for writers
to express their freedom. And I intend
to take advantage of that freedom.
That, and I just love the way those two words sound together.
People are odd.
Everyone is odd, yes I know that, but some people really stand out with
their “oddness” and cause you to take a second look or take a second listen, or
whatever.
So this lady comes to my garage sale this afternoon, during
a lull. She’s hold two brand spanking
new pairs of flip flops in her hand.
Ones that I bought last summer because I just HAD to have new flip
flops, but never used them.
She peers into my box of $5 Tupperware items, picks up an
item, and says “oh. Look. Its cracked already.” I took it from her and looked
carefully and said, “No its not cracked.” She put it back in the box and
hmphed. And then was starting to walk
away and said, “Oh, and I took these from the box,” gesturing out to the shoe
and purse box on the driveway.
“$2 for both pairs.”
“Oh, but I took them from the ‘free’ box.”
“Ummmm, no they weren’t in the free box; that’s the box
beside it.”
“Then I don’t want them.”
And she was gone in a huff.
