All Who Are Reminiscing

  I’ll never forget the time when I was visiting my home country about 15 years ago. It was late at night and there was 10 of us that needed a ride home. We waited and waited and finally one guy in a taxi came along and said he’ll take all 10 of us home. Bless his heart. My brother, my cousin, and me were all In the front passenger seat and we listened to his stories about how he used to live in California. He spoke English. What are the chances that we run into a guy that used to live in the same state as us in a different country? Although I can’t remember all his stories, There was one thing he said that I’ll never forget. It was a little riddle that went like this: “When I was a little toddler boy my father said to me, don’t play with girls because girls are dangerous.” We laughed. I never really looked into it because I was a little boy at the time, but I thought it was funny. Now that I look back at it, he was 1000% right, girls are more than dangerous. They’ll tear you into itty bitty pieces.
