story that is intended to amuse you.
Today's Dose is one of those stupid stories that you have to sit and listen
to. Well, actually, I guess if you didn't want to listen you could just
delete this e-mail and ignore me for a while. But, it would be nice of you
to just take two minutes out of your day to listen to my stupid story. If
anything, you get a good laugh at my expense. So, relish it.
This weekend we went to the mall in Wausau. We went to Sears and Stephie
ended up finding something to buy, so we were waiting for her to check out.
While we were standing there, I saw this lonely mannequin standing all by
herself. So, I did just like any of you courteous people would do: I walked
over and started talking to her.
Yes, I know, mannequins are not real. So what?
Well, now, I go to school about three hours away from the Wausau mall. So,
you wouldn't think that I would be in any danger of feeling stupid in front
of anyone, because no one would know me.
Sure, there were people walking past who looked at me like I was crazy, but I
didn't care because, hey, I'm never gonna see them again, and they probably
got a kick out of seeing some crazy person talking to a mannequin, right?
I'm gonna take a little break here and tell you my reasoning behind my doing
stupid stuff. Look at it this way: if you are just going along in your life,
minding your own business, and I do something stupid that makes you laugh,
then my job is done. If you are having the worst day of your life, and I
make you laugh, then you are going to feel better, and hopefully you'll be a
little bit cheerier to everyone that you see. That's my goal. It's true, I don't do stupid stuff just because I'm a rebel or a dork (hey, keep your comments to yourself!), I do stupid stuff to make other people happy. If you have a laugh at my expense, good. Take it to heart and go out and be nicer to people.
OK, enough of Preaching Sarah.
Back to my story.
So, I'm standing talking to this mannequin. Try and picture her. She's got
dark hair, shoulder length, kinda up in a French twist type thing. She's got
green eyes and that general mannequin makeup.
All of these people are walking by, pretending not to see some crazy chick
talking to a mannequin. We were having a very lovely conversation about the weather, when all of a sudden, she challenges me to a staring contest. Have you ever won a staring contest with a mannequin? Neither did I.
Well, needless to say, my mom was standing there pretending not to know me as
I stared down this mannequin and shook her hand after a well-fought match.
Being 3 hours from school, you'd think that I wouldn't be in any danger of
having anyone know me except for my family, right?
Wrong.
I went to grab a sandwich yesterday after my classes. And the girl who swiped my ID? She turns to me and says, "You know, I think I saw you conversing with a mannequin in the Wausau mall the other day."
So, I was a little embarressed.
Just a little.
My next trip to Wausau? Well, I saw this cool thing on TV where this guy
dressed up as a gorilla and asked people for bananas.
Does anyone have access to a gorilla costume that I could borrow?
