So while I was detailing Jan’s car while she was in class and Rick was sleeping, their neighbor walks over and asks if Rick is home. I said yes but he’s sleeping and she says,
“I was just in my backyard and it’s all flooded. I think it has something to do with the pool.”
So I walk back there and Rick left the water running. So there was soppy grass. I turned it off and she goes,
“you make sure to tell him. he’s a new house owner and all…”
repeats that a few times.
Then I go and pick up my polisher thinking I’m going to finish the car soon. Nope. She sits her butt right on the fender and goes,
“I’m so tired.”
and I said “me too.” It was my 8th day of work in a row so I was beat.
And then she goes, “God give me strength…Are you going to school, what are you going to school for?” and I told her blah blah blah and then she goes, “You’ll do well. I just asked god to give you strength.”
I was like oh dear.
“Do you believe in God?”
I don’t, really. I’m buddhist, but I figured it was easier to not get in an argument with her at this point. So I told her yes oh yes true yes true,
“You know, it’s very important to be reborn again. Read John chapter 3. It will tell you. John said it, Jesus said it, God said it.” And there’s where I said this lady is cooky. She said she has had a bad year and a half and that God has helped her so much. He has given her strength. Of course asking him has done her so much good in the past and present, why stop now…
And then she went back to her yard after telling me that I am welcome to come over and talk to her anytime I have a question. Because I’m around allll the time.
And then the cat got out and she told me he was in her backyard. It’s like a fantasy land of ceramic garden creatures and weird looking plants. Kitty was having a great time walking around in there. I bet he pooped in her flower bed.
And as I’m walking through the garage with the pooper she is on the phone talking.
“Now the girl upstairs I don’t know about, but Rick lives downstairs and I think he has a partner.”
Oh snap. I don’t think that she thinks that I am Rick’s partner–I think she thinks one of you fine folks is Rick’s partner. harhwhhrr It was grand. A grand time. Hilarious. I must be an easy target.
