Hmmm.. just another day in the land of milk and honey... working hard on keeping upright..... I saw the saddest loneliest thing today... an Asian woman working alongside ,who I can only presume was her husband.. they own and operate a little knick knack store in one of the local malls...
You know! the type they sell cheesy cheap trinkets from China and overseas.. costume jewelry ,little plastic Buddhas.. geisha girl dolls..
Oversized fan,s framed In Gadda picture frames... cheese MO...
But it was slow, in their little store .. her husband was in the corner, talking up a pieces costume jewelry to a potential client ... I could smell the desperation wafting! off of him as he tried to close the deal ... I turned my gaze to his wife, she was slumped over the cash register, with her chin in her hands.... I could almost hear her thinking in her native language...wtf.. is this my life... come here to this neglected forgotten overdue for renovation of a mall.. everyday.. sit here all day waiting for someone to come in and buy this junk.. then I have to go home clean the house make supper.. serve my husband look after our children...
She must have been thinking how much she missed her native land...
She looked absolutely disappointed in her life... I wanted to go up to her and say .. you're right! you're absolutely right !!. it doesn't get any better...
