JESUS LOVES ME (For Saturday)

For the first time ever, I couldn't keep a straight face and it was worse when I tried to cover up a chuckle with a conversation. It was a time where I wish I said "No understand English."

While I was sweeping, I had my headphones on listening to the Foo Fighters... until I felt a tap on my shoulder. It made me jump a bit but when I turned around, I saw an older lady staring at me. I asked her if she needed anything and then she asked me if I was working there (at the laundromat).  Jokingly I told her "well, I do have a broom in my hand" and she laughed. She asked me for a minute of my time and I gave it to her. I wish I hadn't. She asked me if the owner was around as well and I told her that the owner wasn't. She took out a thin magazine titled "Awake". I knew where this was going. I felt the giggles making their way up to my throat and I bit my lip. The lady said "this is for you. Do you believe in god?" and I replied "well, I have my beliefs."

She got into a bunch of stuff about religion, until she said this "judgment day will come, are you prepared? Do you know that we live a life in sin?" I wanted to ask her if the zombies would be released but I just stood there, staring at her and trying not to laugh. I think she noticed that I wasn't taking what she said seriously. So she then asked me "do you know what we are? we are humans! we are not perfect! we can't live our lives without someone telling us what to do or which road to take." I cut her off and I said "Of course we do! We tell ourselves what to do and we guide ourselves to the places that we want to go. There are challenges." I was saying that while trying not to laugh in her face. She replied back in a stern and strong voice "No! we are not perfect! We cant do that!" Here is the best part, I reply "yes we can! look, I am doing it now!" and I gave back the magazine to her.

Thanks lady, you took me away from my sweeping and music time. I was really into it to. Anyways, she gave me back her magazine and said that jesus loves me. Then she brought up something about a Jehovah's witness... I think the two contradict each other or something. I am quite tempted to read the magazine out of pure curiosity. If I do, I will let you guys know!

Oh yeah! Today I met the modern day version of the Golden Girls! Normally when I see a young daughter and mother do laundry I think "awwww! How cute!"; however, when I see a 50 year old daughter and a 70 year old mother I think "Hey! It is Dorothy and Sophia!" The daughter was scolding the mother because the mother was playing with the dryer. I giggled a bit. A couple of minuted later, the mother scolded the daughter for not being married yet, let alone laid. I kid you not, I caught myself with a jaw drop. Thankfully I had my mp3 player and I pretended to sign along to a sing. Lip sync for the win? I submit yes.

So here, I leave you with a Golden Girls episode:
