I never knew why they built speed bumps - m4w - 37


Until this morning. Yes, I know now that speed bumps are built so that men and women driving in opposite directions can stare at each other a bit longer :-).

You were the very pretty blonde driving towards Green Valley Road in a white Volvo wagon. I was driving in the opposite direction in a black sedan. I was wearing sunglasses and white and blue striped shirt. Well, just to be sure, I did remember to wear my pants this morning to come to work but mentioning the color of my pants won’t help as it was hidden from your view. You were wearing something appropriately dark colored warm clothes - black or brown. See, I was so lost into your eyes that I don’t even remember what you were wearing :-).

We looked at each other for a few seconds. The intensity of our staring at each other tells me that there is a potential for connection on a more grand scale resulting in future sparks and fireworks. The other, not so flattering possibility is that you thought that I was someone featured on latest episode of America’s Most Wanted that you watched this weekend, ha !

Our chance staring at each other was thankfully prolonged by the presence of the speed bumps at Friendly Center that I used to curse every time was a getting late for work. But, not any more. Now, I know what the genius who designed speed bumps had in mind.

Any interest in having a cup of coffee with me at any of the numerous coffee places around the speed bump where our eyes met?

By the way, thank you making my Monday morning !

-Painstakingly Yours
