People often joke about Alzheimer patients. The fact that they get to meet new people every day, etc… And then I got to thinking…. What about me?
Yes, I’m forgetful but that’s not today’s issue. Today’s issue is the possibility of people surprising me every day. And I don’t mean with flowers and candy. No every single day I’m surprised with the stupidity of others. Now you would think that at my age I would have learned what people are capable of but it really still does surprise me.
Today’s example: One of my co-workers had to leave work because her daughter was sick. You’re right, that makes sense. Except that the daughter is in high school. So I wonder, couldn’t she stay home alone, or couldn’t she have spent that day at her grandma’s. I must admit I was shocked. I am almost speechles, but you know me better than that.
But the day is young. It’s not even noon. I’m sure before closing time I will have experienced yet another surprise, and once again, be shocked at someone else’s stupidity. I can only imagine how often I, myself, surprise others.
