An Apology

To the man at the co-op grocery,

I am sorry I gave you a handful of dirty looks after you followed me into one aisle and then the next. You probably thought that I thought that you were a serial killer or a rapist or some horrible cosmetics tester that was going to burn my skin off with some new ‘fountain of youth’ make up. While I do watch more true crime TV than is normal (or healthy), I assure you I thought none of those things.

But I did not appreciate you following me around the store. And we cannot be friends.

Kate
