Except for doctors offices, dental offices and hospitals, I seldom get out these days. But my cheap coffee maker was going south and we were approaching BigLots!, the home of many cheap things.
I’m getting out, passenger side and an African American woman, with a glorious head of hair, parked next to us was getting in her car on the driver’s side. We almost bumped into each other and both apologized.
I said, “I didn’t even know they were having 20% off everything.”
She said, “They almost always have something I didn’t know I needed.”
I said, “Me, too! So then I buy two!”
She laughed and said, “So do I and I love your hair.”
I said, “See? That’s not fair! I loved your hair first...and I would never try to touch a pregnant woman’s belly, but I couldn't remember if I can comment on fantastic hairstyles on people who are of other races. I’m so confused,”
She said, “Oh, me, too and I almost reached for my pregnant niece’s belly but stopped just in time. All this political stuff is hard to keep up with.”
We both chuckled. But then I remembered...MiniSue thinks I’m Cro-Magnon because I do not like the use of “they” for people who don’t want to be “him” or “her.” I don’t have concerns about sexual/gender identity stuff...people are who they are. But don’t **** with English Grammar. THAT offends me.
Also, I’ll admit it right here: rap isn’t music. It’s very impressive performance art, that sometimes uses music. Except, of course, the hip-hop borderline rap songs from Hamilton. That can be called music.
