Joy

One of my favorite things about Christmas, very very very much secondary to family and caroling and friends and presents is the Joy tea from Starbucks. It's just so yummy. I never buy it any other time of year because I want it to be special. I haven't even had any yet but soon.

Today I wore a yellow and brown polka dotted dress to school. It made quite a stir, I guess people don't wear dresses that often. Anyway, on the walk home I was waiting at a light when I turned to see a woman literally an inch away from my face. And she says, "Don't move honey, your underwear are showing." So on the corner of a busy Chicago street, in the snow no less, a random strange woman grabs the bottom of my skirt and yanks it down to cover my undies. Though, they weren't really underwear, they were like short leggings under my skirt to keep me warm. But then, instead of laughing and walking away, she proceeds to put her arm around me and walk me across the street saying, "Don't worry honey, it's just that static electricity! Oh that static electricity, get's you every time. I used to wear those colors when I was young, they used to be my favorite colors to wear." Then we crossed the street, she released me, and disappeared.
