Hair: 2 braids down the back, tryin' something new
Hey, it's Mother's Day so I'm allowed to do what I want (I have permission...as if).
What Would You Do?
Everyone has different reactions to different situations. So, what would you do if you came upon the following...
1. A person obviously struggling to keep their [sic] head above water in a pool or lake.
Since I can't swim...I'd call 911. Hopefully I'd have my cell phone... I'd also start yelling for someone who can swim.
2. You find a $100 bill on the floor in a store.
Yipes. Honestly? If the boy were with me, I'd definitely take it to the service desk and turn it over to them. That's the easy answer. But if the boy weren't with me...hmmm, I'd like to think I'd do the same thing, but I'm not sure I would. I've found smaller bills and I'm never sure what the cutoff between "good-neighbor" and "it's only $x; who cares?" is. But $100? Yeah, I'd probably turn it in.
3. A dog or cat with a broken leash wandering aimlessly in your neighborhood.
If I recognized the animal, and knew I was safe, I'd probably try to corral it and call the owners. If not, I'd try approaching it (with food, cuz that always helps!) but if it took off running, I'd call the Animal Control people. Actually, I'm not sure who I'd call here; we're in the country, so the city AC people wouldn't come. Hmmm....
4. A person you don't know knocks on your door in the middle of the night claiming they have an emergency situation and want to use your telephone.
Is The Beast home? If so, he handles it. Nobody messes with him! :-) If it's just me, I'd ask who they want me to call, and then I'd place the call. Or as them to wait, put the cordless phone outside the back door, and then tell them it's there for them to use. [we have no fence around the yard]
5. You see a car veer off the road and into the ditch. Stop, and put my flashers on. Call 911...thank God for cell phones! See if anyone is hurt and try to help. [been there, done this] If I didn't have my cell, I'd try to flag someone else down and see if they would call or go for help.
For those aspiring writers out there: Word Beads
"While vacationing in Mussel Shoals last year, I had to compel my best friend to discuss her recent divorce. She refused to embellish the truth, saying only that she and her husband could never reconnect after he cheated on her with his fishing buddy."
And Subliminal Lunanina:
- Vagina:: Chronicles
- Racism:: "My mom says I can't play with those kids" (one of the kids in our neighborhood talking about the two kids next door to us)
- Mother's Day:: Guilt (I need to call Mom)
- Fire alarm:: Fear
- Elvis:: (in order) Presley, Costello, Stojko, and a friend's cat
- Pregnant:: Thank God I'm not...
- Vacation:: England, Maine, Galena
- Waffles:: Yum. Breakfast in bed.
- Perpendicular:: "Get your fanny perpendicular..." some song a la Dr. Demento from my childhood. Maybe this is why I did so poorly in geometry class?
- Hospital:: Crappy food, little sleep, self-important doctors and (generally) outstanding nurses
