Nope, I don’t smoke, I guess I look tired and can you pick up your trash please…(her)

So, I was walking a friend out and watched a guy toss his McDonald’s bag out of his car window. And then he pulled over across the street and started walking toward our neighbors place. And I started walking toward him…

“Do you want me to pick that up for you?” I asked.
”Oh, I’ll get that.”

I introduced myself and shook his hand. And as he shook mine back he leaned in a little closer and asked me if I smoke.

”No, I don’t smoke.”
”Well, are you tired?”
”No, maybe…” I didn’t quite know what to say at that moment.

I went inside to powder my face and freshen my makeup before I left for a session… because apparently… I looked tired… or worse.

(And yes, he did pick up his trash.)
