The Youngest Island Boy
started dating a girl not too long ago and it didn't take long to
figure out that this girl is Bat Sh$t Crazy.
I'm not being mean or
judgmental but I know crazy when I see it and she is full blown, boil
your bunny, crazy.
They dated for a few weeks
and then she pulled some seriously bad stuff that really hurt his
feelings. He broke up with her and we told him that under NO
circumstances was he allowed to EVER see her again.
Well, last night I had to
go pick him up from work. He works in a really busy place surrounded
by lots of other busy places so we have a designated spot to pick him
up.
I pulled up and there,
standing on the curb, was a guy and a girl. AND the girl looked just
like the crazy one.
I was absolutely stunned
that the Youngest would be standing there with her.
I pulled up to the curb in
front of them and they both stood there looking at me.
I sat there looking at
them, deciding if I was going to get out of the car and rip her a new
one for the stuff she pulled on him when they started walking up to
the car.
It was about then I
realized that the guy had short hair.
The Youngest has long hair
and I was so thrown at seeing the girl that I thought “When did he
cut his hair?”
My brain was misfiring
left and right and then I had a moment of clarity.
I took him to work and he
had long hair. I knew he didn't cut it at work and as the guy reached
out to grab the car door handle, I realized he wasn't the Youngest
and the girl wasn't the crazy one.
So just as the guy went to
open the car door I sped off.
As I'm driving away I see
the Youngest in my rear view mirror chasing me through the parking
lot.
He'd been standing a few
feet away from the couple and saw the whole thing.
I stopped and when he got
in he was laughing so hard he could barely talk and wanted to know
what had just happened.
I told him I thought the
girl was his crazy ex and that I was so shocked to see her that it
took me a minute to realize it wasn't her or the Youngest.
He said that when I drove
off the guy looked at the girl and said “What in the hell is wrong
with our Uber driver?”
We both had a really good
laugh but then he told me that he thought it was weird that I'd
think he would have anything else to do with the girl.
I explained to him that it
was that very thing that threw me in the parking lot and that my
brain completely shut down for a minute.
I'm glad it wasn't her but
I'm especially glad I didn't let those people in my car, thinking I
was their Uber.
That would have been a
really uncomfortable conversation.
