Funny things...
Last night I hung out with BQ and her friend M who lives down the street from us. We headed out for coffee then decided to make a trip to the liquor store and continue the fun at our place. At a stop sign a tiny black woman stopped us.
TBW: "Hey girl, I was wonderin' could you lend me fifty cents? I gotta call my brother, so he can come pick me up."
BQ (who was driving): "Sure." (hands her fifty cents)
TBW: "Thanks girl, its a real emergency, you have a good night."
We drove on to the liquor store. As we were coming out of the store and piling all our booty in to the car I heard someone calling out by the street...
"Hey, hey, can you help me."
There was ANOTHER tiny black woman waving at me and yelling.
TBW2: "Hey girl, could you spare 25 cents, its a real emergency."
This woman looked almost EXACTLY like the previous one, tiny and black, just wearing a different outfit.
Me: "Umm, sure, hold on one second..."
TBW2: "Thank you SO much, I gotta call my brother to come get me. I am NOT gonna lie to ya, its a real emergency, I gotta get back to *Town North of Here* or I'm gonna be violatin' my parole, I might KILL somebody."
Quickly I retrieved a quarter for her and she thanked me and ran off towards a pay phone. I noticed several other people looking towards our car at this point. I got in quickly and looked at BQ saying "Lock the doors, let's go."
We all laughed our asses off the rest of the way home.
This afternoon BQ and I were sitting around talking after lunch and she asked if I wanted to go smoke a cig, it was raining lightly out, but I agreed.
We started talking about what being a Universalist Unitarian really entails, neither of us were quite sure. I said:
"I think I'll just stick with being what I am, nothing."
The rain started to come down a bit harder.
"I mean, I don't really know what religion I am or if I believe in anything."
The rain started to pour.
"Did you notice that its raining harder, oops maybe I upset God."
The drops got bigger and more violent.
BQ and I started laughing.
It began to hail just after we stepped inside, not being able to finish the cig...
"Note to self, don't talk about religion during bad weather"
The hail got bigger.
At this point I just shut my goddamn mouth, for the sake of my unprotected car, parked on the street.
