I have talked about how weird things happen to me and people say, “That would only happen to you!” before (exhibit A). Well, it still happens fairly often and I don’t even realize most of the time (until someone points it out). This week I asked an innocent question and got that reaction again.
First, I do realize it’s odd and awesome that Ben felt the need to ice my still very pink broken toe the other night. Very sweet.
I guess it would only happen to me that I’d meet a stranger on the internet that wants to take care of my feet…
I was eating my See’s Candy last night and found a piece of chocolate smashed into the clasp of my bra when I got ready for bed.
Only me.
I once found a cat too. But I hope that happens to a lot of you because it’s awesome.
I went on a walk a few days ago and found a dollar. At first I didn’t pick it up, I feel weird finding money because I figure someone is going to come back and look for it. But it was ‘only’ a dollar and I looked around to see if anyone was looking for something on the ground – nope. So I decided to pick it up.
That reminded me of how I found $5.00 at the airport when I got back from Israel. I thought it was too much money to just take so I stood by it and looked around for the person who lost it. Most likely whoever dropped 5 bucks at the baggage claim of LAX was long gone, but I didn’t feel right taking it. I picked it up and handed it to the person working at the nearest booth. I told them someone dropped it and in case they came back… I figure they wouldn’t and the person could just keep it but I thought that was better than taking it myself. I don’t know.
“What are the rules for when you find money?” – I asked my friend.
“Only you would have that problem!” – my friend dismissed my question.
I tried to explain that people on the news are always returning money and they’re good people. I want to be a good person. How do I track down random dollar owners?!
At the end of the day I still don’t know the answer.
Question: Did you lose a dollar?
What is something weird that’s happened to you?
