I waited in the car while Domi went into New Leaf to get a sandwich. I took the spare time to browse through the mail that I had just picked up. My cherry mood was soon overshadowed by one piece of document amongst the bills: a letter showing that all of my mother’s affairs were now in order and final. I stared at the document that contained both of our names and thought, “I was alive but mum was not, and this caused my tears to flow. I was thankful at that moment that Domi was not in the car to see me cry. That child has heard and seen more death in her tender years than the average child and it wasn’t fair. Never the less, I forced myself to get out of the car for two reasons: (1), I did not want to cry any more and upset mum’s spirit, and (2), I needed to find Domi so that we could get going. I walked into the store and towards the deli. While standing there I noticed this annoying woman who keep asking the young assistant (behind the counter) the same questions over, and, over again, about the same quinoa ordered, and I was fueled. I debated for a couple seconds, with myself, whether the letter that I got regarding my mother’s affair was stirring me or the fact that this woman was the purest of jackasses (and I mean donkeys) weighed the most? I concluded that 25% was the letter and the other 75%, the woman was indeed the purest of jackasses! I went over to the woman and said, “Madam, you need to stop harassing this young lady because you keep asking her the same questions and it’s driving me crazy!!!” The woman looked over at me (totally oblivious) and said, “I am not done with her yet!” I thought to myself (is she for real) and reminded the woman that she was finished with this young lady as of right then (because I said so)!! I also reminded the woman that, she had her order and that the young lady had answered all of her questions posed to the best of her abilities. So what other questions was she intended on throwing at the young lady? I asked, “Are you going to ask her how clean were the vans that transported the quinoa or whether a bird pooped on the grains while taking a jolly break from flying (and I was steaming)!!” I hinted cautiously to the woman that enough was enough, that she (the woman) was holding up the bloody line too, and that I had no more patience left in my bony body to tolerate her annoying hiney!!! “I again reminded this woman that her attitude towards the young lady was very inhumane, that she was treating the young lady like an animal, that I was not going to let her continue to harass the young lady anymore, and that she needed to leave, now!! The woman eventually left, I apologized to the young lady and the rest of the staff if my behavior was out of line. As I walked away I looked back at the young lady and she whispered, “Thank you so much!!” That, I clearly understood and released a sigh!!
