En route to pick up the boy’s mail, which is usually the girl’s JUNK MAIL and a waste of my precious gasoline at $4.03 per gallon for an octane rating of 87, I noticed three spooks. One was turning “southbound” into MY long stretch of road. We were just pulling out of the driveway when the driver turned his shaded face past his fully opened window towards our direction.
When I rounded the corner slowly, I passed a light-colored SUV to my left. The driver immediately pulled out his cellphone. I quickly flicked him off by reflecting my left middle finger on my left side view mirror. After slamming the mail box door shut and gathering her JUNK MAIL, I sped off quickly.
Rounding the curve to the right and then yielding to turn left did I notice an old Asian man just standing on the sidewalk to my right. And then after proceeding straight on that turn, I noticed another shaded face turned to look in our direction. Like the SUV earlier, the window also appeared to be slightly closed. I quickly flicked him off, too.
But unlike Paw who noticed my rudeness and thus verbally reprimands my actions, Maw just kept quiet until I annoyed her with my comments about picking their damn JUNK MAIL! Such is the price of “family life” — to put up with the likes of ungrateful people taking advantage of the elders and at their expenses for what it’s worth.
