When I was 16(?) I was in charge of a church
activity. Donuts were requested for the
refreshment. Not wanting to shop on
Sunday, I decided to make them. Note:
this was a first time attempt. (Those
never end well…).
As I was lowering the donut into the hot
oil, using only my fingers (I don’t know why I couldn’t use a spoon... This story could also fit into the category
of “not so brilliant moments”.) I ended up submerging my entire hand in the
deep fryer. Yep.
After consulting the nurse practitioner, I
went to the meeting. I just happened to
be conducting, so I stood up with authority and pretended like it was perfectly
normal to carry around a large cup of ice water and submerge one’s entire hand. Everybody’s doing it…
2. In most countries a proper greeting consists of
addressing the person and then the person repeats the same greeting back. For example, “Hello”, “Hello” or “Hola”, “Hola”
or if you’re in Hawaii, you can delay your repetition until you are ready to
leave and it still works. Being a polite
individual, there was only one proper response to the man who greeted me at
Wal-Mart. He said “Welcome” and I said….
It was actually pretty funny. My friend punched me in the arm. “You idiot!
You just welcomed the welcome guy!”
It’s all good. I think I made his
(the Walmart employee’s) day.
By the way, I once overheard a roommate talking on the phone
to her mom about me “I love her to death, but sometimes I just don’t know how
she gets through the day…” That’s about
right…
