strangers
I just read Beefy’s Blog and it reminded me of something that happened to me a few years ago so I thought I’d share. Now don’t TELL me you haven’t had a similar experience!
Okay, I was walking into Kwik Star and going to purchase something when this car pulls up to me. I look into the car and there is a lady in the back seat with a baby.
Lady: “HI!” … as if I am an old friend.
Me: “Hi!” … as if I know her.
Lady: “How are YOU doing?”
Me: “Great! How are YOU?”
Lady: “We’re doing sooo good. The doctor released us last week and everything is going good”
Me: “Really?!? That’s great!”
Lady: “Yeah, it is incredible how many blessings we have”.
Me: “Yeah, you really need to appreciate that don’t you?”
Lady: “You guys were sure a lot of help, I can’t thank you enough”
For a split second, I hesitated. I know she is mistaking me for someone else. But, I am in the middle of it. Should I admit my faults? No, there is no way I can confess that I am an unknown innocent imposter. I am committed to it.
Me: “That is our pleasure. Well, I better get going. It was nice to see you again. See ya!:”
I am such a people pleaser… I didn’t want her to be uncomfortable in her error. So, I lied completely. I wonder if she ever realized her mistake, and then thought… What in the WORLD was that lady THINKING???????
Like I said, don’t TELL me you haven’t done it!
