REJECTIN' IT!
So, the other day I was leaving the grocery store and flagged a taxi to take me home. This is the conversation I had with my driver:
Driver: Where are you from?
Me: America
Driver: Oh! American women are so beautiful!
Me: No, Americans are big. (People here often comment on weight. =) )
Driver: Oh no, Americans are so much more beautiful than locals. You are beautiful. How old are you?
Me: uh... this year I'll be 36. So, are you a local?
Driver: Yes, I really like Americans.
Me: Really? Do you know many Americans?
Driver: No, but I really like them. Americans seem so friendly.
Me: So...(thinking, that I need to change the subject) are you married?
Driver: Yes, but before I was married, I wanted to find an American bride. American women are so beautiful.
Me: I bet that would be difficult since there aren't many foreigners in our city. How long have you been married?
Driver: 11 years.
Me: Oh, I've been married almost 12 years. My husband's great!
Driver: I was way too young when I got married.
Me: Really? Do you not like your wife?
Driver: Not too much....Do you like your husband?
Me: Oh yes! I love my husband! He's a Christian, like me, so he is faithful and kind, quick to serve. He loves me and is a wonderful father to our 3 kids.
Driver: I really want to kiss you.
Me: Ummm Excuse me?
Driver: I want to kiss you. You know (smacking sounds)....
Me: Uh NO!! NO! Impossible! My husband would not like that! No. You. may. not. kiss. ME!!!
Thankfully, we were almost home at that point! When I tried to pay him, he didn't want to take my money. I threw the money at him, yelled, "Keep the change!" and ran into the building!
That kind of love, I'm definitely rejecting!!
