meisa's lagoon

today i went to my favorite local burrito joint - el gordo! - where a homeless man waiting outside asked me for some food. i told him that i would see what i could do, and as i stood in line, i decided to buy him a burrito. so after i delivered it to him, i strutted away feeling pretty darn good about myself.

emotion #1
yeah! i'm a kind and giving person!

but as i passed him 10 minutes later, he was soliciting little kids for money. they didn't know how to say no, and he basically got each little kid passing by to give him a dollar each (the kids were on lunch break from school - so no parents around). jerk! taking advantage of little kids like that! so this time i walked away fuming.

emotion #2
man! i just got suckered by a swindler!

and then i passed 5 minutes later (i don't know why i kept passing that spot), still fuming, when he mumbled something to me. i assumed he'd forgotten i just bought him lunch, and i stopped and practically barked at him "look sir! i just bought you a burrito!" and then he goes "i just said 'have a nice day.'" oh. oops.

emotion #3
i'm a heartless bitch who yells at a man for telling me to have a nice day.
