okay, this is weird….
i ran into the kid brother of a friend of mine from cedarville not long ago…she was a suite mate, and i’d run into him in the course of going to school.
well, i was at the store one day, when this guy came up to me and started talking to me like he knew me. after playing along for a second or two, i admitted i had no idea who he was. he introduced himself and said ‘i always had a crush on you and looked forward to hanging out when i visited.’
ok. that’s a little creepy. creepy for a lot of reasons.
1) he was what, 12? when he was hanging out at school.
2) he was that dorky (still adorable) kid i remembered, only bigger…
3) wha?!?!?! he had a crush on me? and he remembered that? and he guessed that he knew me?
4) i considered the possibility that i looked like someone else he knew. and that i wasn’t who he thought i was…after all, i went to school with a lot of ‘big sisters’…
that thought popped out, but no. he was right. he even remembered my track nickname. ‘wild buffalo’.
5) i considered the possibility that he just had a really, really good memory.
thankfully, he is married now with a family of his own…
but i dunno. i never had anyone tell me they had a crush on me. it’s creepy.
