I'm doing 12 things
I wrote this goal a few days ago, thinking that this day might come in a few months or years. I wasn’t expecting it, I hadn’t done anything differently.
It happened quite subtly, I went to pick up Popeye’s and had to wait a while for my order. The girl kept calling orders, and I wasn’t sure what my number was so I kept checking when she called them. After doing this a few times the lady got quite annoyed and fussed, “That ain’t ya order Mister!” I was so overwhelmed I just smiled, and said sorry ma’am.
So, what do I do? I call Teri because I have to tell SOMEONE I was “Sir’d”, which hadn’t happened at all in Texas. While I’m on the phone a girl taps me on the shoulder and asks if I ordered the two piece. I was so excited I didn’t notice my order was ready. :p I go up to get it, and this very animated group of girls starts playing that game. You know the one, is he a boy or a girl? Well one girl goes, nu uh that’s a girl. Well they see me watching them, I was really curious what the verdict was, when one girl asks me are you a girl. Not wanting to give myself away by talking I shake my head no. She goes, oh sorry you look like a girl. I smile and shrug. Then one girl goes he’s a cutie. I told you he was a boy! I blush beat red and they hoot and holla and go oooooooooh. As I rush out the door grinning ear to ear one girl goes, bye cutie…. And the girls giggle as I run to the car.
As I carry the food to the car I yell, “God, I fucking love this city!” and that was the best fuckin’ day ever.
I go home and come out to my Mom’s boyfriend, he asks if I was certain. If this is what passing feels like, I have NO DOUBT.
