"How's your girlfriend?"
"I actually don't have one."
Probably my least favorite question in the world. People always assume things that I'd rather not have them assume. Luigi thought that I was wise, however, so the issue was avoided.
He nodded sagely.
"They always asking for money, buy me this buy me that. Christmas. And I say don't give me that (unprintable.) Get a job and buy your own stuff. And then groceries!!"
He shook his head in exasperation.
"Or when they get bossy. I hate it when they're bossy. I say, don't boss me around baby, or I'll slap you."
This seemed a little harsh in my mind, but I could understand where he was coming from.
"But a girl with a good heart? I would do anything for her."
Again, I agreed with the little round Italian.
He left then, leaving me with a little pearl of wisdom that had been carefully packaged with light profanities.

You certainly do see interesting people at that place you call 'work'.
ReplyDeleteLuigi is an awesome name =)
Very nice character sketch! Really well done!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to your 'least favourite question.'
Apparently, if you have a 'serious' girlfriend/guyfriend, you're mature. And yet, how many complaints have I heard?
ReplyDeleteLet's clarify though: Layne, you have many girlfriends. :-)
@merissa - You would not believe some the stuff I've run into.
ReplyDelete@rach - Thanks! I appreciate it.
@rachel - LOL! That's awesome! In all seriousness, I do appreciate all you folks very much, even though I don't say it enough. = )
Oh? Like your reflection?
