Last Sunday, I had to get a couple things from the store, so I started walking over. Not even halfway, a Marshallese lady met me on the sidewalk. She was walking the same direction. I was going to pass her (Marshallese people walk very slow) She said hi, then she goes, “Where are you going?” I said, “To Triple J, you?” She smiled really big and said, “Triple J.” She was very awkward about all of this. She talked with a smirk and looked at me out of the corner of her eye. We told each other our names, and she asked me where I worked. She told me about her kids and where they went to school. Then we got to Triple J, she casually asked me with her little smirk half glance what I was there to buy. Strange question. I told her what I was getting and asked her the same. She just laughed. How weird! She followed me all around the store watching me pick up the stuff I was buying. I felt so nervous and weird! She followed me for about 5 minutes, and then got distracted. I knew that was my cue to check out. I’m not sure what was going on, maybe she was just being friendly, maybe she wanted me to buy her something, who knows. Nice lady, awkward encounter.
