So I met these girls on the side of the road who ran out of gas. And as I drove by I instantly felt a tug cause that soooooooooo coulda been me. Like yesterday. or this morning. or last week. or tomorrow. Maybe. And I thought maybe I could pick them up and we could chat and share a moment and become new BFFs. Cause I am lonely.
And sometimes when I am lonely I have a tendency to try a little too hard. Cause when I get all nervous my mouth talks without notifyin my brain. And that is totally differently than normal. Seriously, totally different.So I stopped to take them to the nearest pump. And we were all sitting there and talking and bonding and have a moment when I simply said, "I am so glad you guys felt comfortable gettin in my car without knowin me. I mean I could be a killer or torturer or sadist or crazy person and then you would be screwed huh?"
Then they shared a glance and it got all quiet and I felt like I had said something wrong. I think pulling the big ol camera out didn't help.
They got out of the truck really fast. And they did not want to exchange contact info either. Weird.

For REAL?!!
Thanks for your sweet comment on blog, too, by the way :)
I wish I had your nerve to snap pics of everything. I took my camera shopping once and only took a few pictures. I feel like everyone is looking at me. Has anyone ever asked what you are doing?
heehee....
yeah, busting out the camera within the first 4 minutes of meeting someone will sometimes make them a little leary.
cathy -- yes. but i am completely use to strange look and i am starved for attendtion.
i find that if you wink and smile it makes everything better.
And I'm sure the fact that you seem to get the lady in the striped shirt's rear in every picture wasn't odd for her either...no...not one bit...
I know EXACTLY what you mean! I get all like we've known each other forever cozy and some people get the deer in the headlights look and go "Oh! look over there!" and when I turn back their gone. I'm left standing there smelling my armpits thinking I stink or something cuz it can't be me they don't like. right? hello?
I reckon it didn't occur to you that they might have been serial killers, huh?
You did a good deed though and they are probably talking about it at work today!
steve has a heart like that. He'll stop and help a man change a flat tire. A man I tell ya! I am like, uhm, I will say a prayer God sends them someone as I speed by.
But I have been held at knifepoint before and I just don't take chances. Cause lightening might strike twice.
I was kinda thinking along with Dana & Daisy -maybe THEY were the serial killers! LOL You area whoot!
HAHAHA! I think it must have been that darn new car scent...
or...
maybe it was the fact you were capturing the whole scenario via digital camera.... Love that you did though! Gives a great story!
