True Story


I was coming home tonight and I stopped at the dollar store to pick up a couple things.  When I walked up to the register there was a black woman there paying for her stuff and in her carriage sat the cutest little black girl.  She was 3 years old at the most and had huge round eyes and that crazy black girl hair do with the 7 or 8 braids.  When I walked up the little girl gave me the biggest smile ever and said, "HELLO".  I was thinking in my head, "What a peach, such a doll".  So I said, "Hi" is a very sweet sing songy friendly way.  The little girl's smile immediately disapeared into a frown and with a sternly furrowed brow she said, "I am NOT high!".  OMG it was the best ever.  In my head I was like WTF, what do I say now.  In that moment I was utterly convinced I was on camera and this was so going to be all over the internet.  Luckily her mom interjected, "Of course you're not high.  I should hope not at your age".  To which I immediately added, "And if she is then why is the girl holding out on us?".  The mother let out this huge holler of a laugh and when she was a bit composed she complimented me by saying, "You are a funny white guy!'.  I could have died and went to heaven on the spot.  It was the best trip to the dollar store ever.  I did not make up one word of this and soooooo hope it was on camera.  I would replay that insane moment like a thousand times.
