I was standing outside a post office waiting for my sister to get out last Thursday at 1pm. I had both kids in the wagon and they were eating a snack. Right next to the post office is a bar. A man walks out of the bar and immediately come up to us and starts saying how much the kids are angels and that they need to be protected. Instantly I go into mommy lion mode and I am ready to attack this guy if he even so much as lays a hand on my kids. He seems nice enough but you just never know with strangers. Besides him sounding nuts and walking out of a bar in the early afternoon, he looks normal enough. But he keeps on ranting and even goes as far as laying on the ground next to the wagon to say hi to the kids. He then jumps up and hands me a 100 dollar bill and tells me that it's to protect my angels. I politely decline the gesture as I'm thinking...this guy must be nuts! But he keeps insisting and I keep declining. Then he hands the 100 dollar bill to Lila and walks back into the bar! I yanked it out of her hand for fear that it was covered with stripper germs or drugs (big bills usually are!) and I stood there looking completely dumbfounded. The whole time I'm thinking a number of a scenarios:
1) This is some sort of trick being recorded for tv
2) This man is going to not be able to pay his bar tab now
3) He isn't going to remember this later or
4) He is going to come after me and say I stole it or something.
I stood there racking my brain for at least 5 minutes till my sister came out of the post office. After telling her the story we decided to go ahead and walk back. The whole time I looked over my shoulder scared that he would come after me or the kids. But he didn't.
So the 100 dollars is sitting in my purse in the same spot as it did after it first happened. I don't know what to do with the money! He gave it to me to protect my angels...
So what would you have done and how would you spend it??!!
