One day Shawna and I decide to leave for lunch. We head over to the local pizza place. As we start to pull in we see a “Homeless” guy holding up a sign that reads “Please help, god bless” The reason I put quotes around homeless is because he has a radio, a healthy looking dog and he looked pretty clean to me.
I start to complain about these fictitious homeless people and how I watched specials on their scams. We enter the restaurant and as I’m paying for the meal I ask for an application. Shawna takes a deep breath and says nothing since she knows what I’m thinking. We finish and get ready to go back to work.
I get in the car that I’m driving and begin to fold the paper into eights. Shawna getting nervous asks me not to do it. As we get closer to the stop she starts to squirm in her seat. I roll down the window and he approaches the car. I hand him the folded application, he thanks me, I say “You’re welcome, this should help you.” I’m stuck at the stop trying to make a left hand turn and Shawna is yelling at me to go!
Nervous as we speed out and burn rubber I realize I need gas. Shawna watches as the “homeless” guy opens his application and looks in the direction of the car. Oh my god Michele, can’t you drive any faster?! Yeah, but I need to get gas. Can’t you get it later? Yeah, but we might not make it back to work. I pull in across the street from where we were. I pump the gas while Shawna is frantically looking to see if the “homeless” guy will run across the street to give me his two cents. Oh wait, he’s homeless he doesn’t have two cents!!!

I love the way you tend to leave out very important details...such as you were driving your crap car that couldn't complete a 'get-away' if its life depended on it. And yes, that day, it did depend on it. I was also huge pregnant and was scared for my baby. All I wanted to do is get my personal size pizza. But noooo....you had to tussle with the homeless guy and THEN stop for gas across the street. Was I afraid? Yep....he was scary looking.
This needs to be completed. I'm hanging on to the fact that you have stopped and I don't know what's happening and I'm getting a little nervous for the "homeless" guy who actually is homeless and thinks that what you did was the best thing that happened to him all day because he really wants to work but was afraid to go get the application and see how God works through us all. God Bless Auntie B
