Yesterday I stopped at the QT at noon. A guy with a blue rag on top of his head held the door open for me as I went in. I smiled and said, "Thank you," as I always do anytime someone is polite like that (which, by the way, happens way too rarely). He said "Woooo, look at that smile!" I thought that was funny, and went on in the store. When I came out, blue rag dude was at the gas pump directly outside the door. He yelled to me, "Baby, you keep on smilin', and the sun will keep on shinin'!" I laughed and thanked him and smiled about that the rest of the day. What a polite catcaller!
Last night Superman and I were waiting in line at Subway. I was laughing to myself at the weirdness of the guy in front of us. He was doing this whole micro management control freak ordering thing: 'I want pepper on this. But not if it's pepper mixed with salt. Do you have just pepper? Then I want pepper, no salt. ONE stripe of ranch, and ONE stripe of chipotle. And on THIS HALF, I want onions. But just on that side..." I was thinking to myself, "Shit Man, get a grip. It's just a sandwich," when he turned around and looked right at me and Superman. For a minute I thought he had heard my thoughts and was going to kill me, but he said, in that same intense/crazy voice: "Has anyone ever told you that he (nodding to Superman) looks just like you? Because he does. I mean REALLY. Wow." And then he turned his back to us again and didn't look back.
And I said to myself, "WHAT. The hell. Was THAT."
7am this morning, Superman has just gone to his room from the kitchen and is supposed to be getting dressed. He is in a dancing/chattering/jumping/clapping good mood this morning, and I have been quizzed on whether or not I remember numerous specific scenes from "Despicable Me". I hear lots of noise coming from his room, but none of it really sounds like 'dressing' noise.
Me: Superman! Get your clothes on!
S: OK! (da da da da...lala...bang, bang, noise, soft singing)
Me: Superman! Do you have your clothes on?
S: No! But I have Pa-a-a-arty Fever.....Got to Boo-oo-gie Down....
It was, needless to say, a great start to my day.
