As usual, I procrastinated in buying my dad a Father's Day gift. I never know what to get and, frankly, I got busy. So, as a result of my inability to remember anything, I went to the Hallmark store to look through the very picked over Father's Day cards. There were two teenageish girls working in the store. They asked me if I needed help and I declined having them help me look at the 50 cards that were left.
In the meantime, a guy walks into the store. He's about 5'10", blond, blue eyed, fit, probably mid-20s. He was cute. The girls (both of them) walked over to him and asked if he needed help. He said he was looking for a card for his brother-in-law. So they show him the brother-in-law cards (who knew they actually had those) and then one of the girls (picture two interchangeable brunettes who were kind of little boy skinny, long hair and kind of ditsy) says to the guy, "This is going to sound weird..." (at which time I stopped what I was doing to listen), "...but you smell really good." I almost laughed out loud. And, for the record, he did smell good. He said thanks to her and then said something about Abacrombie and Fitch cologne. Whatever he was wearing it was nice. And I have to give the girl a thumbs up for saying it. It was just making me laugh the way they were fawning over him.
So I find my cards and I go to pay. I had just finished my run (2.5 miles) and was wearing my "How about a threesome?" visor, that has the swim, bike run, under the saying. So I'm rooting through my wallet, looking for my Hallmark card and look up to hand it to the girl and she's staring at me. She says, "I had to do a double-take when I saw your visor. I thought it meant something else." (Uh..yeah. That's kind of the point) So she says, "Have you done a triathlon?" I said I had and that I was planning on doing another one. She said, "I give you props for that. I can't even ride a bike." As she handed me my bag, I had no doubt what she was saying was true.
