Call me naive, but I am shocked at what has happened this week.
First, I was in the city wearing my leather jacket. I bought the jacket in Colorado a few years back and it didn’t fit me for the longest time. When I tried it on this past week, it “fit like a glove!” So, I decided to wear it to the city. The day was warmer than I originally thought and I took the jacket off and carried it around. I placed it down on a counter and turned my back and the next thing I knew… the jacket was gone!
Then, my son and his dad went to Washington, DC this past weekend to the Jon Stewart rally. After the rally, the two were on clean up duty. They walked through the park picking up recyclables as a community service activity. When they got on a crowded train back to their hotel, my son checked his pocket and noticed that someone picked his pocket. The phone was gone…
On Halloween, I traditionally put out an oversized pumpkin and fill it with candy. Every year, I leave a sign that says “please take one, we are watching.” This year I put it out again. It was funny that quite a few people said to me that the kids will run off with all the candy.
“Oh common,” I said. “These kids are honest.”
The door bell rang. I went to get it. There were two young girls dressed as Minie Mouse by the door.
“Take what you want in the pumpkin filled with candy,” I said.
“Oh, we’re sorry,” said the young girl with glasses, “we don’t see anything.”
I poked my head out the door. “Oh my God, the pumpkin is gone! The pumpkin is gone!” I yelled.
“Wow, who would do something like that,” the other girl said. “That is so rude.”
I shook my head and closed the door.
P.S. The phone rang right after that and it was my mom telling me that one of the Aides that help her stole my dad’s camera, his lenses and her small camera. What is going on???
