Not crazy, but fun interactio...I love crazy people.<br />Not crazy, but fun interaction today. They brought a lady in a chair to me today and asked, "Can you figure out what she's saying." I said, "Sure." She spoke english, but had, I suspect, had a stroke. Her eyes were alert but her voice was just barely over a whisper and her words were badly slurred and not at all enunciated. It was two words. I could barely make out what she was saying at all. I asked what it was for and she mimed writing so I took her to the office supplies aisle. She smiled and I asked what she would write on and understood clothes when she said it. I asked then, the clues slipping into place with the syllable count I had, "Permanent Marker? Like if I were going to camp what my Mom would write my name on my clothes so I'd get them back?" She smiled and nodded. I handed her a fine point Sharpie and she said what I took to be thank you. Bless her heart. She was struggling but patient and I felt bad the other people weren't trying harder. Getting me was a good idea. I'm really pretty good at helping when there's a language barrier. Practice I think.Rich Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209649944081991872noreply@blogger.com
