Oh the things people let stroll out of their mouths!
In Church, a widow stopped me in the hall. Here was our conversation:
WIDOW: Oh hi, Alli! How are you?
ME: Super great. How are you?
WIDOW: Good. Are you still working for the Boy Scouts?
ME: Yeah, I am. Its good.
WIDOW: I'm sure you work with a lot of men there.
ME: (Laughing) Yeah. They are all either old or married though...
WIDOW: Well I'm sure one day their wives will pass away and they'll start looking at you, thinking
you look pretty good.
ME: (Shocked) Yeah. Maybe.
I can't tell you where the conversation went from there (I was in shock and don't really remember), but I promise you it didn't get any better. I can tell you it was really short- I wasn't very talkative after that.
This poor widow was in fact getting re-married that week, so it was probably just what was on her mind...
But I'm also feel that by age 27, I am an old maid by Utah standards, and this may be many people thoughts of me.
I"m sure she meant well...
