Sometimes humans are good

between_time_and_42Something unfortunate that I don’t want to mention happened tonight when I was on my way to band rehearsal. I was crying the rest of the way because I felt completely stupid and awful. Then, when I got out of the car, a bicycle gang consisting of about five 8-9 year old girls rode up to me.
“Are you okay?” the leader of the pack said.
“I’m not,” I answered honestly, “but I will be fine. Thanks for checking.”
“Were you crying?” she asked. “You look like you were crying.”
Still having no reason not to be honest, I said, “Yes, but it’s okay, don’t worry about it.”
“What happened?” she asked, and then: “Did your boyfriend cheat on you?”
Now, if you know anything about me… you already know that this was NOT the reason I was crying, because I do not nor do I ever want to have a boyfriend, let alone the cheating type. So that in itself was funny. But the audacity that this girl had, not to mention my bewilderment at how in the world did she know about boyfriends and cheating, anyway…?
I was so flabbergasted that it made me laugh, and now I feel better, because a little girl was kind enough to ask me what was wrong and then unintentionally said the funniest thing.
