2005-09-29On the SubwayThe usually calm and sedate SuperFudge started a big argument on the 2 train! She was sitting next to a woman who wouldn't stop fidgeting (which is enough to make me kill someone, really). After a few stops, a man and his toddler got on the train. Ms. Fidget loudly congratulated the man for taking care of his child. "It's nice to see a man step up and take care of his own," she declared loudly. She then praised him to the rest of the passengers, saying it was just wonderful to see a father care for his kid. Ms. Fidget jabbed her elbow into SuperFudge's side and asked her if she didn't think the guy was perfectly fantastic. "No," deadpanned SuperFudge. The guy's head, grown large from Ms. Fidget's praise, quickly deflated. "What?" Ms. Fidget was taken aback. "You don't think he deserves praise for being a good father?" "No. He's a father. He Other people quickly chimed in. "Oh, why you gotta shoot a brother down like that?" one man complained. A heated discussion followed, in which it became clear that SuperFudge was the victor. Unfortunately she had to ride the bulk of her journey with a new huffy Ms. Fidget, but she was immensely gratified when a few of the women made sure to voice their agreement on their way out the door. The game everyone's playing:1. Go into your archive.2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to). 3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to). 4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions. 5. Tag five people to do the same. "Before seeing Moulin Rouge, I was convinced that Nicole Kidman was a robot, anyway." Now, I'm not tagging anyone. No one tagged me. I'm just a wannabe. You folks are welcome to play along if you'd like. | |
