I didn't even know but this was published under Jan. 28 and per Kiem's suggestion, I have moved it up. raar. True story.
The Story of the Morman Grandma.
The subways of NYC provide some pretty interesting, at times freaky, always entertaining people watching. You literally never know what to expect when you descend those smelly ass steps. A rat in the train? An hour delay? A clown? Anything is possible.
WELL....
This summer I was riding the subway to work, mind you its like 8:30 in the morning and everyone is more interesting in drowning in their coffees rather than chatting away or even looking up. I am sitting across from a grandmotherly looking old women. I'm talking stereotypical, orthopedic shoes, little gingham dress, curly hair, glasses grandma. Shes quietly knitting away at something on her lap when onto the train comes a tattoo clad vin diesel look alike, complete with chains, leather and huge ass-kicking boots who sits down besides grandma.
After a minute or two the old lady turns to mr. i-could-kill-you-with-my-bare-hands-if-I-so-pleased and touches his arm where he has a tattoo in sanskrit traveling up to his shoulder
"OOOOOOH! That's pretty! What does that mean?" The woman asked...
Taken aback the man removes his earphones and explains to her the meaning of the tattoo.
Two minutes later she turns to him again. "Are you a latter-day saint?"
there is audible chuckling. this man does not appear to be morman. at ALL.
"Um. Excuse me?" The man replies, not sure what to make of this woman. She proceeds to poke him with her knitting needle and asks again "Are you a latter-day saint?"
"Um....No." He says slowly, leaning away from the knitting needle.
There is about 2 minutes of awkward trying not to laugh silence before grandma gets up to exit the train. The tattooed man is giving us all eyes like he is trying not to start hysterically laughing when she pauses at the door and turns to him again.
This time she points to a large tattoo of a tiger the man has up and around his other huge-ass bicept.
"Oooooh a kitty!" she says, and makes her hand into a claw. "Raaaaar"
