…and other things that made me laugh this week…

like when i took my bike off the rack in front of kroger and this guy rode right into the spot- glad i was leaving because the rest of the racks were full and then struck up a conversation with me about how many gears my bike has and then said, “awww shit, you’ve got more speed than me”

when i was hanging out with muriel and lauren- two folks i work with who have developmental disabilities- at the state fair and lauren (who randomly busts out an italian accent) said “i’m ready to spend my paycheck- you don’t work, you don’t get paid- but i’ve been working hard at pushing those kids around so they pay me for that” she’s super cool and works as a foster grandparent at one of the schools and indeed does push kids around in their wheelchairs :)

when we spotted a chipmunk and lauren screamed “alvin” :)

when bill, another guy i work with at st. luke’s, amazed us with his birthday memorizing savant skills and rambled off everyone’s birthday in the room without mistake
