Buddha Belly Blunder

Allow me to introduce myself ...

You can call me C. T & L have been peer pressuring me to post. As of late, it seems that all of our conversations begin with "Are you blogging?" or "Have you blogged today?". I'm begining to get nervous that if I don't blog soon someone will hurt me while I'm sleeping or L will hammer punch me when I'm not looking. So as a result of my fear of being hammer punched, I have been constantly pondering what my first blog topic will be. Problem solved! Here we goo..

This afternoon I was on my way to work in CC. (I use public transportation to get there so obviously it is always an experience!) I am just sitting there reading a self magazine when a person approches me and leans in for a handshake. Now, three years ago I would have felt bad turning down the opportunity to shake hands with a stranger but L thankfully has taught me better and I now know that it is okay to say "no" when a stranger wants to touch me. So as the person (and I say person bc I'm not really sure if it was a man or a woman) moves for the shake I awkwardly smile and shake my head 'no way'. The person smiles and begins to rub their belly - hmm okay? - and then stretches out to show me a handfull of change. Now had I not had previous public transportation experiences I may not have understood what this person was trying to say, but lucky for me I put two and two together and realized this person wanted money for food. Now I'd just like to point out that the belly this person was rubbing was nothing short of a buddha belly soo logic would tell me that they probably aren't really that hungry. Anyway, as all of this is happening I realize that this person standing in front of me is deaf or atleast acting like it and then suddenly I remember a conversation that I had with L & T this past weekend ... let me explain. You see L she is a hot young thang and last weekend in particular she was having an issue with receiving a lot of unwanted attention (This is a topic we discuss often because as ladies we don't want to be rude to guys that we don't want to talk to but we also think that they should be able to take a hint). You see this particular night L was getting hit hard with the unwanted attention. The next day as we were discussing the events of the night before we were joking around about how funny it would be for her just to pretend that she was deaf when someone tried to talk to her and then turn around and start talking to us. So, as this person is asking me for money & rubbing their buddha belly, I realize that they are most likely def which reminds me of us telling L to pretend she is deaf and as the scenario plays in my head I basically end up laughing in the deaf person's face by accident. I'm an ahole but T found it comical soo I decided to share...

Well, I am sure that there will be many more posts coming soon considering this weekend T will be turning 22 and our house is about to be overcome with twenty-something (21+) drunk kids... Always makes for a good time (and blog post)!

Love.
C.
