marcy's broccoli salad

have i told you about my recent experience with a homeless man?

no? okay, here goes...

so, i pull up to a stoplight a couple of weeks ago,

and am stopped at a corner with a large contingency of homeless people.

a man with a sign comes up to my car.

and actually, my window happened to be rolled down about 3 inches.

enough for us to have a normal conversation through it,

but still make sure he couldn't stick his hand inside my car. ha!

first, he asks me for some money.

which i actually probably would have given to him

if it wasn't for my purse being in the trunk.

i say: no, i'm sorry. i don't have any.

next, he asks me if i have any food.

i look around my car, and don't see anything edible.

i say: no, i'm so sorry. i don't have any!

then he asks me if he could just go for a ride in my car with me.

he says it's been SO long since he's been able to ride in a car,

and that it would just make his day if he could just go for a a spin.

i say: haha, no. i have somewhere to go right now.

i'm so sorry.

finally, he tells me: i just want to 'hit a homerun with you'

can i just hit a homerun with you, please?

(UMMMMM?!)

i say: um, no. that is not going to happen.

but thank you for asking so nicely.

LOL!
