Today was a day of errands with my grandma, Fran, in the lovely town of Commerce. We had to go to the doctor's, do a little Christmas shopping, and...get an oil change for Foxy Noxy (what I call my car, she's a Chevy Equinox). The oil change place is located in downtown Commerce and is a lovely joint owned and run by very friendly Russians. I go there often to get my lube jobs, therefore, they know who I am.
Well, the son is the one who does the actual lube job. I'm standing there talking to him (I'm a talker)...he asks a fellow worker to find the towel he's been using. I notice it first and go ahead, grab it and hand it to him. I got some gunk on my hand and he noticed. He says something to the effect of, "Don't worry, that stuff will lube you up, it's very moisturizing. It'll stay wet for awhile."
After all the times I have gone there...
never have I heard him talk like that. Granted my Dad usually talks to him and
his dad, and he never really talks to me, but whatevs. I didn't expect him to just jump right in and talk to me like that. It intrigued me, and...I might have liked it, I dunno, the jury's still out - okay, they came back...I did, in fact, likey.
We talk a little more and he asks me what I'm studying in school...I say Psych...and after I said that, it felt like he took it to heart. He then starts talking to me about his past relationships, why
he thinks they didn't really work out, yada yada yada. I wonder if it will be like this for the rest of my life...all ppl have to hear is "Psychology major" and they'll divulge their lives. Not that I mind, but...I'm not even licensed yet.
