Thursday, October 2, was an adventure

The other day, my friend, Lupeta, and I participated in the local library's Banned Books Scavenger Hunt and won a twenty-dollar gift card. On Wednesday, we received the prize, and then went out on a walk to Target to split and spend the money.

We went on a 2.8 mile walk, talking about our past relationships and sexy things.

I have been on this walk on my own time before, and on that walk I was greeted by a guy who seems to always sit on his front porch because on my return walk, he was still on his front porch.

"Hello," he said.

"Hello," I said.

"What're you doing?"

"I just came back from grocery shopping so I am headed home."

"Oh. Could I see you tonight?"

"I'm gotta to bed early tonight."

"What time are ye going to bed?"

"Sometime before ten o'clock."

"Do you have a phone?"

"Nope, I do not have a phone. Now I must be getting going now."

"Wait, where do you live?"

"Oh, about a mile or so down that'a'way," I cocked my head to the side down the street. Being nonspecific rules in these kind of situations. I took my leave, bidding him a proper farewell.

On our return trip, I told Lupeta that I would say "beep" when we are in front of the polite rapist's house. 

"We could be in the middle of a conversation about muffins, and I would stop and say 'beep,'" I said.

So the conversation would be like, "Blah blah blah..muffins, beep."
