"Here it Comes"

When you are young and you do strange things it is funny. When you get to be my age and do strange things, eyebrows are raised, and you can see your family thinking “oh no, here it comes”.

Case in point - I work with Katie who is much younger than I am. But after this week she is wondering if she can be my friend or needs to be my nursemaid. A few days ago she was in my driveway waiting for me to come out so we could go to work. Just before she was supposed to arrive I looked in the mirror at my many layers of shirts (because it is so cold) and realized I had forgotten my bra! I couldn’t believe it! So while Katie waited in the driveway, I had to strip off all of my layers and put on what was needed. (reminded me of a bad dream)

Yesterday, she picked me up again for another work related errand. As we drove off, she said, “Nice hair.” I looked in her mirror and saw that I had not done anything with my hair. GOSH! She handed me a white comb that was dirty looking. I said, “No thanks.” She swore it wasn’t dirty, just covered with dark hair dye. (She IS a hairdresser so I guess that could have been the case.) Then she scrounged around on the floor of her back seat for a time and came up with a broken headband. I was desperate so I said "Yes" to that one.

She just sighed and I think I could see her thinking, “here it comes.”
