AMOS (a mess of stories)

     K, I got a story for you.
    So I went to work earlier in the morning than usual (I have pretty flexible hours, I just have to get stuff done) and the place hadn't opened yet. It was fine, I could get in, and there was one other guy there. He's probably a little older than me (in his 20s) and I've avoided him 'cause he smokes (not to say he isn't nice or whatever, but if you choose to smoke, which is a poor life choice, who's to say you won't make other poor life choices?). He said good morning while I was clocking in and I said good morning back. Nothing out of the ordinary. We do our jobs, other people arrived, and everything was dandy. Then later I'm walking to the back to get some more supplies and he was leaning on one of the back walls on break or something. As I walk by, he says (in a slightly almost cocky sounding voice):
    "Hey I forgot to ask you where you got your Star Wars mask."
    You know, 'cause I have a Star Wars mask (Obviously). And I turn over my shoulder and say:
    "Oh, my Grandma made it for me," and kind of kept walking, but still looking over my shoulder.
    And he kind of laughs and says, "Oh, cool."
    It was only in hindsight that my mind figured it out (like a whole week later). The tone of voice, the way he phrased it, everything.

    . . .
  
    That was by far the worst, COVID pick-up line I have ever heard.
    Also the first.
    I told my parents and they got a kick out of it, enough in fact for my dad to make a social media post about it. I'm adding that to my list of funny pick-up stories (which is ironic that I have a list since I've never had a boyfriend).
    But yeah.

    There was the baby bird trying to learn to fly the other day. He flew in front of my legs and we think he hit the chair on the porch because he sat around like he was stunned or something.
























    Then my fam did a little traveling and I got some nice pics.

































So yeah.
Thanks for tuning in $)
