I was blocking an aisle in the supermarket without realizing it. A human voice behind me said “Beep, beep!”, and I moved aside quickly.
I called to his retreating back, “That’s the first time I’ve heard a horn in here.”
He turned around, and with a twinkle in his eye, said, “I carry it with me.”
When I inadvertently block an aisle, some people are so polite when they asked me to move; others less so.

This was an older man walking with a cane. I was totally surprised when he turned and made me burst out laughing.

I love his sense of humor. That sounds like something my dad would do and say.

Because humor is so rare, I intend to celebrate it when it arises in daily life. I try to keep my smile muscles in good shape.

You’ve written about events in the grocery, too. We both know humdrum things can turn into writable events.

So cute! This reminds me of when our daughter was about 3 years old. One day in the store, she just took off running and I had to run to catch up with her. I had her baby brother in my arms as I weaved in and out of the people all around us. As I caught up to her, I heard her saying “beep, beep” each time she dashed in, around and past each person she could. Little scamp! 🙂

She led you a merry chase. She carried her horn with her, too.

I must get one of those!! Too often when I’m in a hurry, I get stuck behind a completely oblivious person, blocking the aisle while s/he studies the label on an item. Imagine if I honked! Heheh.

Try honking. My gent was most pleasant about it. He just said beep twice in a high tone.
