Here is a word to the wise-if you are carrying a book about the Middle East, hot guys will randomly start talking to you. This has happened to me a total of four times. Unfortunately, not so much with books written in Spanish. On Friday I was reading a book on the subway and this is a loose translation of what went down:
Man With Missing Tooth: What is that book about?
Miss Jill: Chile Tries to read
Man With Missing Tooth: Oh, I like when things are based on a true story. Like that horror movie... hmmm.. the one about Long Island.
Miss Jill: The Amityville Horror?
Man With Missing Tooth: Yes!
Miss Jill: That was true?
Man With Missing Tooth: Yes, people see ghosts all the time.
Miss Jill: Do you?
Man With Missing Tooth: Yes, there is one in my house. The obese neighbor died and no one found him for 14 days. He was so heavy that as they dragged his corpse down the stairs, his head hit each step. Now I always see him when I am cooking. My cousin digs up corpses for his job.
Miss Jill: Interesting. Tries to read
Man With Missing Tooth: My brother died in my arms next to the freeway.
Miss Jill: This is my stop. Have a good day.

Oh my. Is it bad that I automatically started hearing that guy's voice in my head like one of those kids who keeps bringing up random facts in between quick, loud intakes of air?
ReplyDelete"Did you know turtles have smooth shells and tortoises have bumpy ones? (suck in air) My dad has all his old records out in the garage. (suck in air) Would you rather eat a piece of raw beef or a dried cricket? (suck in air) I keep all my old teeth in a bag in my closet."
I would have exited the subway too.
ReplyDeleteTo respond to your comment on my blog. Yes, I want to come to NYC next year since I'll have money! I'll be working in Spanish Fork at Riverview Elementary. Soooo excited. They showed me my classroom today :)
I can't wait to be a real teacher!
Tell the stories about the hot guys, duh.
