I'm a lucky girl :)
Funny story...we stopped at Shipley's this morning to get the boy some breakfast. We pull out and stop at a light.
Chris: Oh wow...that man is smoking in his truck with the windows rolled up. That's crazy.
Me: Lots of people do that. He's gonna smell purdy.
I glance over to the man and the truck sitting next to us when he pulls up a little more, the window rolls down and looks at us. I look away and begged for the light to hurry up and turn green.
Chris: Crap, maybe he read my lips when I said that.
Me: Did he say anything?
Chris: No, he just rolled down the window, looked and waved.
Me: Was it a nice wave? Did he smile?
Chris: yeah, I guess.
Me: Do you know him?
Chris: nope
Light turns green, I pull away and get on down the road. He's behind us a good ways. Next light is red. He pulls up to turn right at the light. Light turns green, we go.
Chris: Dang....maybe he really did make out what I said. He had his window down again hanging his head out looking back.
Me: No he didn't
Chris: Yes he did.
Me: Maybe he thought he knew us?
Chris: I didn't know him.
Me: Me either.
Moral of the story...when you make a comment about someone sitting next to you in traffic, make sure you turn away so they can't read lips. I don't know that he read Christopher's lips, maybe he was just being nice, but it was enough of an awkward moment that I wanted to get away from this truck as fast and as safely as possible.
And let me just say....I am not a fan of smokers. My mom smoked for 47 years. 47 years. And that ultimately is what took her from us at 65 years of age. I wasn't a fan even before Mom died. I tolerated it because she enjoyed it and she was my mom. We all asked her to quit at one time or another. I still have family and friends who smoke....and if you are one of them reading this, I don't love you any less, its just my preference not to smoke as it is yours to do it. But, I do ask you to consider quitting. :)
Okay...I'm done now. Y'all have a great Thursday!
