Was It Worth It?

I talked to my crew and had them out of my place before nightfall...I said it, they understood it, and it's over...

Tonight after my session with the teen girls, my man and I are going to one of E. Badu's poetry spots. The dim lighting, tranquil music, and prose are just what I need right now. There are some very talented people that come through there. They sing, they speak, they play music...it's a great experience, for grown folks only....

My daughter and her father will be gone for the next four days. He has given me so many breaks this summer. Whew! So once again I am childless!

Yesterday, my man and I went shopping. We were in the dressing room, and don't ask me what we were both doing in there...Let's just say that I was taking more off than I was putting on...But we didn't go too far...We stopped when we heard these strange noises coming from the dressing room next to us. There were only two dressing rooms occupied, and we were in one of them.

When we walked out of the dressing room, the lady that was working in the department turned red. ( If I was gonna be doing something in the dressing room, I would be discreet...dang!) I guess she thought that we were making the noises. Then we all heard it again. It sounded like someone was straining. We stayed in the area because we were curious to see who came out. There was this older lady that walked out the dressing room. Her face was red, but she just smiled sweetly and said nothing. We thought it was strange...We shopped in that area a little longer, and the lady went in and out of the dressing room two more times. We paid for our things, and as we were walking out of the store, the older lady came zooming past us in full stride. She almost knocked me down. When we got close to the store entrance, she collapsed. I was in panic mode. I ran back to the counter to get someone, and they called 911.

I stayed around to make sure she would be okay. When the paramedics got there, they put an oxygen mask on her, and she was still breathing funny. They finally found out what the problem was. They started to take off her shirt and realized she had on not one, not 2, but 6 full body girdles. They cut them off of her and she was breathing normally. She had stolen them. That's why she was making all the noise in the dressing room. She was squeezing into them one by one. My man was rolling! So instead of going to the hospital, she got a quick trip to the police station. That's a shame. She got arrested for stealing girdles! She almost lost her life for some dang underwear!

I guess you can't put anything past anyone these days. I had to admit, after the initial shock(because I was genuinely concerned at first), It was funny as heck!

What's the craziest thing that you have ever known someone to steal?
