I waited in line at customer service at HEB to exchange something with Ike and I hear this kind of creepy voice behind me. "You go to MD Anderson?"
I ignored it because surely they are not talking to me.....I am at the grocery store.
Again, the voice repeated the question. "You go to MD Anderson?"
I turned around and a small woman was standing VERY close to my back and I said, "Excuse me?"
She repeated the question. "You go to MD Anderson?"
I wanted to say, "Lady I am NOT really having a hard time hearing you....I am trying to figure out if I have a big sign on my back that screams "I HAVE CANCER..PLEASE COME TALK TO ME ABOUT YOURS"
She fiddled with her odd wig and said, "I have a wig. Like to wear it every day." She is looking at my scarf.
Ike at this point, is narrowing his blue eyes...he doesn't like her. She is creeping him out. I told her, "That is nice." And I turned back around. I am not feeling particularly friendly. I am REALLY trying to be polite but I want to tell her "I am in HEB for goodness sake....go away."
She asked me if I had a wig and what stage I was. Ike piped up. "My mommy is shopping." Lol I wanted to kiss his buzz haircut! I told her I had one, didn't prefer to wear it. I turned around again. This is A CLUE.
She keeps talking to me. I have my back turned. Very unChristian-like, I know. Finally, I kind of give her the look. You know the look.....the Caldwells have one that can bury you. I told her "I hope you are blessed through your treatment but I do not have time to talk about mine." I wasn't trying to be mean....really. I just thought it was WEIRD.....weird, weird.....and kind of creepy.
