Yesterday afternoon, Luke and I headed to our local hardware store only to be greeted by two friendly assistants. The young woman had long dark hair with bright blue highlights which was gathered in a pony tail, she wore dark framed glasses and had a light coat of somewhat bluish lipstick. The man around his early 60's had a name tag which spelled the name Bob - Bob had a big belly, ruddy complexion, blue eyes and not much hair. The young woman said hello to both Luke and I and was commenting at how cute he was...she asked...what's name? I looked over at the balding man, smiled and said "Bob". The young woman's blue lips stretched from ear to ear, she smacked Bob on his arm and screeched "!and he looks just like you... he even has your belly!"...Bob half smiled as I continued on my way in search of plastic gloves.
Today, I took Luke for another walk. We happened to walk across the street from the hardware store. I was talking to Luke looking down at his face, I suddenly heard someone say "hello Bob"!...as I looked up I saw the big bellied, ruddy complexioned, blue eyed, balding man with a huge grin on his face.
