Have you ever had one of those "fog" days? You know, the days when you feel tired, or "off" and when someone talks to you, you just say, "huh?" I am having one of those days now. I haven't had a good nights sleep in three days, plus all the traveling I did yesterday.
My mom and I went to town today to pick up some things. She dropped me off at the grocery store to pick up food, while she drove across town to pick up some paperwork. I meandered to the Vegetable section, and proceeded to pick out cucumbers. Out of nowhere, this blonde girl, comes up to me, and says, "do you go to ------- school?" I stood there for about five seconds, probably looking like a total idiot, and said, "Do I know you?" (that's face-palm worthy)
She smiled, and said "Well I don't know you, I just wanted to know if you go to my school". "What school?" I said. I sound like a big idiot now.
"You know, the one down the road!" she said. I summed the conversation up by saying, "Oh. I don't go to school" and with that, I went to grab some tomatoes, lol!
I am home schooled.
All I can say about the above conversation is, wow, what an idiot I must have appeared, lol!
Home schoolin don't socialize a youth.
Let me help.
(Check where your Mother is before continuing).
The next time you are struck with a large club (spoken to by an female) , You has gots to hear what she says. Then interpret it/generate an answer.
You were approached. Saving you the angst of approaching her. As if you would have...
Believe it or not , that's not being at a disadvantage.
Answer the question. (Did you forget already? No , because you listened. (?) )
Now on to the weather. There is no bad weather. It is all good. Even the worst weather. Beats no weather.
Now she knows you can listen and answer and be positive.
If you were rich that would be great too. But that was not the question ,or the goal. Was it?
Poor guy...
Another gal ,or the same one is going to ask you another question.
Listen. Answer. Then return a question relating to the question.. She might be checking to see if you can listen,answer,and be positive. (Don't try to think about it . You'll get caught and she'll try another test instead and get back to ya later on the first one.)
Eventually most will check if you can hear ,answer, and be positive at intervals. IF you continue to have future conversations anyways.....
In time , they may even tell you your answers to what you did not hear and were being negative about anyways....
Or , expect you to know the question without being asked or told...
But next time...The question may be irrelevant and only a way to approach you. Just in case it ain't , answer in a manner so that your tongue is not mistaken for a short neck tie with a half hitch in it...
