The app for independent voices

I hate writing this but LOL, I literally laughed out loud. LLOL.

Recently, while getting a pedicure (in New England, so put on the thickest Boston accent you can think of), I had this exchange:

Woman: Oh beautiful! Orange for fall!

Me (ignoring the fact it was bright pink): Yeah, I'm ready for the cool weather.

Woman: Oh, me too.

*beat*

Woman: My younger brother just died.

Me: Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

Woman: Yeah, I know, thank you, that's why I've been crying.

Me: (not realizing she was crying) I'm sorry, I was wondering what was going on.

Woman: Yeah, we're having a celebration of life ceremony for him tonight.

Me: That's lovely!

Woman: I don't believe in it. He had a shitty life, there's nothing to celebrate.

Me:

Woman: Hold on, my motha's calling.

*beat*

Woman: Yeah, hi, Ma... WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE HALL CAN'T HANDLE CONFETTI?

Strangers are the best!
