I rarely post about conversations. Mainly, because I'm afraid that what I found interesting you won't. But this I had to share. If you don't find it interesting.. I guess it kind of sucks to be you.
My friend Robert called and left me a message on Monday. I didn't get to hear it until Tuesday. In his message he says, "Hey, I'm off diaper duty tomorrow. Call me! If it's later this week, remind me to tell you the story about the money."
Ook. I would have called him then, but apparently I have problems making sure my phone is plugged in on BOTH ends. I had it in the phone, but not in the wall. >.<
Score one for me. So, my phone was half dead when I could have called him.
And diaper duty just means he gets up at the ass crack of dawn to take care of his niece. Which is really white of him. His brother's kind of a piece of shit. I can relate.
So, I finally got to talk to him earlier this evening. He was jabbering, and I had to go meet a friend, so, I pushed him, "Dude, what's with this story about the money?"
He just laughed at me.
"Okay, okay," finally he composes himself, "I went to the convenience store the other day, right?"
"uh huh."
"And the cashier looks young. Maybe 18 or 19. Probably not old enough to sell beer, if you ask me."
"yeah."
"Anyway, I got my stuff, right, a soda, some lottery tickets, and some smokes. All I have is a twenty."
What on earth could be so fascinating about this? But wait, there's more.
"I gave her an old twenty. That's all I had."
"Like, the old ones that don't look fake?"
"Yeah, one of those. She took one look at it, and called the cops."
"Are you serious?!"
"Yeah. She thought I was trying to pass off a fake bill. She said twenties were never like this. So, I counted out ten bucks in two dollar bills. She got even more upset! Finally another customer in the store insisted the twenty was legit. That that's what they looked like before the new ones. She insisted they didn't have twenties before the new ones."
"Like, we palled around with fives and tens or some shit?"
"Yeah."
"Weird."
"But then, it's not like they had the old twenties much past you being in elementary."
"Bitch I was in college when those new fake looking motherfuckers came out. It was in 2000 or 2001. Come on now."
He laughed at me.
Ugh. There's no hope for the future. Apparently this twit was in the top 10% of her graduating class.
