They're either too young of too Old :(



I have two 15 year old boys that like to come into the store and harass me. They're actually sweethearts and even though they may be strange now, the ladies will be all over them when they are older. One of them, Derrick has been coming into the store almost since it's first been open. I call him the accident prone kid. I call him this because he always has something physically wrong with him every time he comes in. He's had a bloody nose, scratches all over his arms, poison ivy scratches, a broken arm, sprained ankle, etc. He calls me bionic lady because I've had surgery on my knee.

I told them that they have a great bromance going. Their response was that they won't be friends after high school because they'll go to different colleges and stop talking to each other as they start new lives. As you can see they are both smart asses. Yesterday they saw a book about Sarah Palin and said "Look, it's the face of evil". Then they went on this huge discussion about how they hate McCain. I swear I would love to tape them orating their own political views and life stories so I can post the video on youtube. Their response would probably be calling me a pedophile.

Anyways, my co-workers say that they have a crush on me. I didn't really think so until yesterday when they came in. Derrick's friend saw a Charlie Brown Valentine's Day book behind me and made this comment:

"Derrick is going to hide in your mailbox like Snoopy so he can love you."

Why Thank You Mr. Rich Man

Goodwill decided to give me a birthday card. This is what it said:

"Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most, live the longest. Happy Birthday!"

It was signed by the CEO.

Now I'm well off but I believe someone who isn't really wouldn't appreciate receiving this card. It's kind of a nah nah nah nah nah I've got money and will live longer than you poor people!

Judge not, lest ye be judged.
~Matthew 7:1~

Beloved, let us love one another.
For love is of God
And everyone who loves
Is born of God and knows God.
He who loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love.

Honesty

I happen think of myself as quite honest. Yes there have been lies here and there but they were usually told to preserve someone's feelings.
I would like to tell everyone now to go ahead and ask me any question you would like and I will give you an honest answer.
