I rolled down my window and the first thing the guy said was, "AREN'T YOU HOT??"
I was kinda' confused, it took me a second to register and then I said, "What?"
He said, "I asked you if you were hot."
Hmmmm... well, I was seriously trying to figure out what he meant... could mean a few things right?
Well, I said, 'What do you mean?'
I mean hello folks, I live in PHOENIX, ARIZONA...
not sure if you've heard but this place is like purgatory for many people and a good tactic to convince people to change their ways before passing on.
I mean come on - the weather is consistently 110+ degrees...
hello??
Am I hot?
Uh, YES!
I'm stinkin' HOT!!
Isn't everyone in Phoenix??
So all this was whirling in my head in less than 5 seconds and then he said,
'I mean, your clothes, I mean you're wearing so much of it.'
HUH?
So first I had to wonder, who asks someone that?
I mean, I don't go around asking total strangers why they do things.
Hmm... though, now that I think about it,
the responses might be pretty interesting.
Hmmm?
Haha!!
So you have to understand, I was sitting in my car with the A/C on full blast and he was standing outside asking me if 'I' was hot.
:-/
I was wearing a thin 3/4 length sleeve t-shirt with a little cap sleeve T over it... both were relatively thin and cool in their own right.
Both were probably the weight of a guys polo shirt.
I then quickly replied,
"Well, aren't you hot?"
He said, "Uh, well, not really, I mean.. but you're wearing 2 shirts."
This is were I kinda' chuckled and said,
"YOU ARE TOO!"
He looked down and to his dismay said,
'Uh, yeah, well... I guess I am, huh?!"
(Insert: epiphany)
Phoenix all of a sudden got brighter and the temp went up a few degrees.
He then said, "Well, that's not the same, I mean mine is short sleeve." The funny thing is that my top was a couple inches below my elbow.
He was wearing a heavy weight Polo with the standard 'white-guy-T' under it.
Haha! =)
It was so funny.
I was talking to my mom on the phone when I pulled up for the wash, so she heard the whole exchange.
She said I shoulda' told him,
'Why yes I am... thanks for noticing!"
She cracked me up!! She's funny!
(She's a shy person so this, of course, adds to the humor.)
This is what I was wearing.
Ok, well, a little less face and a lot more clothes, I guess. Hehe! 8-)
