The Lady with the BMW

Because I always have a story........

Late Sunday afternoon I went to the grocery store. As I was unloading my cart in the parking lot, I hear from the other side of my van, "Excuse me?" I see this older, sophisticated looking woman walking from her car, which was parked beside my van.

I was like, "Oh brother! She better not tell me I parked too close to her because how does she know that I wasn't here first!" I was all ranting and raving inside.

I was ready to defend my parking.... for all the moms who drive mini-vans. Darn it!

Instead I hear, "I know this is kind of strange but I have some boxes of food in my car. I am moving and Goodwill wouldn't take the boxes. I don't feel like trying to find a place to drop them. Nothing has been opened and none of it is expired. Would you like to have it?"

So I said, "Listen here old lady! Just because you drive a BMW doesn't mean you can start..."

Ok, ok. You know I didn't say any of that. As a matter of fact, even if she had started yelling at me for something, I probably would have just cried. I like to act like I am all tough, but really, I'm like a big.... um, don't really want to be a 'big' anything.... Let's just say, I don't like to do anything wrong and I cry easily if someone tries to tell me I did and almost especially if some one yells at me.

I really said, "Sure! Thanks!"

She brings the boxes over and says, "There are some Meijer gift cards in there. You can have those also."

4- $10 gift cards

The weird thing... there was almost nothing in those boxes we wouldn't use.

I should have asked to see her wings:-)

Yea God!!
