archive

i'm starting with an archive of sorts. there were a few funny things that happened to me recently which made me want to start recording them.

march 21st:
i'm woken up at 10am with a text message from an unknown number:
"u up?"
i know it's from illinois (i deal with a lot of phone numbers at work so i've managed to memorize a lot of them). i can't think of who it could be so i reply:
"who is this?"
they reply:
"this is lil man"
which was funny enough but then immediately after i get:
"this uncle yank"
to which i reply:
"i think you're texting the wrong number"
and uncle yank replies:
"sorry"

thanks for being so polite lil man!

i leave my apartment this morning and right outside is a horse. good morning, mr. horse!! he's just standing there, no one is with him. his head is giant and i stare at it for as long as i can before i get freaked out and head to work.

march 17th:
i'm at the track running and a little boy (like maybe 4 y/o) takes a tumble right near me. so i turn around to see if he's okay and the second i speak to him he starts sobbing. he won't even talk, he's just crying and touching his knee. so i'm like "you hurt your knee? is your mommy or daddy here?" and he points across the track. so we walk over together. i have my arm around him but he won't stop crying. i'm talking to him, trying to make him feel better. he's just the cutest thing i've ever seen. as we get to the other side of the field he sees his mom and they embrace. he's totally fine - probably didn't even have a scratch on him. and his mother said to me "you will be a great mother. thank you."
