A tad miscellaneous today. I did (thank you for the suggestion, Val) tell a girl she was beautiful. Her friends were all hanging around her stoop in downtown Baltimore. I walked by and she said it first.
“Excuse me. You’re pretty.”
“Thanks.” Pause. “So are you.”
Then they helped me find the street where my car was parked. It was simple, but a charming exchange. Very human.
I also used something very expensive that I will probably never own… my bro’s Mercedes. Talk about nerve-wracking to drive! This guy sitting next to me at the light glanced over, then did a double take and smiled. Then he saw my nieces in the backseat and probably assumed I was the mom. His face dropped and the light turned green. Ha. Oh well.
Lastly, I was tired enough to fall asleep in my niece’s bed at 9 p.m. That’s a feat.
