I was on a walk by myself. Now, some people might say it's not the best idea for a woman to walk by herself in a city, but Portland is full of friendly people who make me feel so great!
I met this friend by Ben and Jerry's, in the Pearl. He was sitting outside. It must've been busy inside because he was sitting on the sidewalk outside the store for some reason. He had a cup in front of him full of change-what a great idea to recycle dishes into a wallet! He was a creative man.
Well, I was walking by my new friend, and he said "excuse me miss, can I ask you a question?" Now, I'm a friendly girl, so of course I said yes. He asked me "do you know what my favorite flavor of ice cream is?"
I spent many years working at Baskin Robbins, so I really care a lot about ice cream. But I wasn't sure what his favorite might be. Could he be a Rocky Road fan? Maybe Butter Pecan? I just wasn't sure, so I replied "No, what is it?"
Remember how I told you he was creative? You'll never guess what his answer was! He looked right at me and said "It's female. Girl ice cream"
How funny is that? It's really too bad that the traffic light changed and I had to cross the street. I'm sure we would've been fantastic friends.
