Once again, its always something when I go to the grocery store! Lol… Please accept this brief intermission from shoes, relationships, and politics to just laugh…
Me rolling my cart to the cash register oblivious: la la la la la la
Cute (in a pinch his cheeks cute way) cashier aka Juvie (cuz he’s a youngin): Hey [wink]
Me: Hi (start putting all my groceries on the conveyer belt)
Juvie: You gon be mad [wink]
Me: Why is that? Don’t tell me you’re closed (laugh, but not jokingly)
Juvie: Yep [wink]
Me: (thinking: does he have a twitch?) Oh c’mon, you can’t stay open just for me, puleaze!
Juvie: Sigh, okay but only cuz you’re cute…. Well and cuz I’m really not closed, I just wanted you to start talking to me.
Me: (laughs) Oh okay. Well you know, I’m probably old enough to be your mother. (Okay, I’m not quite that old but whatever lol)
Juvie: That’s okay, I’m cool with that [winks again]
Me: Ha! Sooooo how’s your St. Patty’s day going? I don’t see any green on you.
Juvie: I’m black, not Irish. Just like you.
Me: What does that mean? I could be Irish, didn’t your mother teach you not to judge a book by its cover?
Juvie: Oh, true… You DO have freckles.
Me: Excuse me?
Juvie: You have freckles. Regular Black folks don’t have freckles.
Me: Sigh, there’s so much I could say to that.
Please someone, help the children! Lololol

And that reminded me Busted-Up Boy on the Bus…
“Light-skinned people look better in pictures.”
