quit-once Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Yesterday was Christmas Eve and it snowed. Alot. The snow quit falling with about an hour of daylight left so I bundled up and found my biggest new snow shovel and went to work on my driveway. I was motivated and excited to use some extra energy and get in some physical activity. I blazed through my driveway in about a half hour and I wasn't even tired, so I took on my neighbors driveway and sidewalk. She is a single lady and older than me, and I wanted to a good deed for someone as a holiday gesture. I was about halfway through shoveling when two carloads of people arrived home. I acknowledged my neighbor and kept right on shoveling, without looking up to see who arrived. That's a common practice for me since I have face blindness and I wouldn't reccognize or remember these strangers anyway. I stayed on task as these people got out of their cars. I was wearing a mid-length brown coat with a hood and I kept looking at my task at hand and just moving snow. Somebody ( a 13 year old boy) was approaching me saying "don't hurt yourself"...and I ignored it. They came closer and said "Gramma, don't hurt yourself, let me shovel". I stood straight up, peeled back my brown hood and said in the lowest, gruffest voice I could muster: "My name ain't gramma". "Oh, sorry", he said as he tucked his tail and slithered into the house. I finished my good deed; wished them all a merry christmas and went back home. If I had been on adderall, that encounter would have been analyzed and re-anylized and overanylized trying to figure what would make anybody mistake a middle-aged guy like me for some kind of grandma. But I simply brushed it off thinking "maybe that kid has face blindness, too, so I am gald I wasn't any harsher on him at the time". Merryfuckinchristmas everybody!
