Peek a boo!
Sometimes I’ll go to a cafe in the morning and get some chai. I walk up to the counter.
“I’ll have a chai to go and a scone, please.”
“Sure,” she said.
“Thanks,” I said.
“I like your shoes,” she said.
This is the moment my brain shorts out. She can’t see my shoes. I’m in front of the counter. I look around to make sure she’s not talking to someone else. Nope. She can’t see my shoes! How does she know that she likes them?
“Me?”
“Yes, you,” she said and laughed.
I’m Lee. I am a successful person. I graduated from a four-year college. And maybe one of these days I’ll grasp the concept of object permanence.
