It's Tuesday and once again I had a crazy day. I feel it's my duty to share some of the craziness with you; I want you to feel included. Early this morning I was in a store in Opelika. I was was near the window and a man ran into the store toward me yelling, "Rhonda? Rhonda?"
He then looked at me and said, "Thank God, you're not her. Don't get me wrong she was a pretty girl like you." I think he has cataracts because no one has called me a girl in YEARS! Then I caught the past tense and said, "Was?" He said, "Yes, she's my neice and died three years ago. I thought you were her ghost." I just responded with, "No I"m real."
After listening to him for a few minutes, I continued walking through the store talking an order. He followed me and told me all about his neice. Finally he left and ran back inside and said, "I hope my sister don't come in here and see you cause she'll flip out."
I said, well you might want to tell her not to stop in here on Tuesday mornings from about 8 to 9 because I defintely don't want her flipping out on me."
He just said, "Yeah, that's a good idea and left." I wanted to tell him I think you've flipped out enough for us all.
A few months ago, in another store someone asked me if I sang in churches. After I told him no, he said, "A lady who looks just like you sang at my church Sunday and it was beautiful." I just said, "If I sang believe me you'd never forget it." That is a true statement because I can't carry a tune in a bucket.
I've always heard that we all have a twin, but I must be blessed with several because I get those comments alot. I Don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I think about what if someone commits a crime and I get arrested for it. Could I prove it wasn't me?
I guess if that happens I'll write my blog from prison, but if I see a ghost there, I'm going to break out. I'll be running for my life yelling, "Rhonda, go to Opelika!"
Thanks for sharing this one...I really enjoyed it...even found it a bit freaky given the book I finished two days ago...http://www.amazon.com/Forever-Ours-Immortality-Forensic-Pathologist/dp/1577314816
