Different cafe, same title. So, what do you do when you know some sort of support group is meeting, but you can't figure out what the group is for? I've been sitting here for over an hour overhearing...ok, listening intently (they're lives are obviously more interesting than what's going on in mine), to four people. Two women to men. A thin blonde women, whine about how her mother didn't make her a baby book, how her older brothers picked on her, and how she used to be 200 lbs. At this moment Im thinking, well, maybe its a weight loss group. But the beautiful dark haired younger women across the table opens up something about a psych ward. Hmm? The blonde woman then continues to ask the cute white boy of his three temptations. Of what though, of what??? I couldn't hear hear the actual subject of the said temptations. At this point Im feeling a little sneaky. Maybe I should put my headphones in. But I don't. I consider alcoholism, but two of them are drinking wine. Crap, Im still confused. They are comparing first borns to babies, to middle children. Maybe birth order has something to do with the reason they all are in this support group. As I get ready to pack up my stuff the begin talking about a book the blonde one had received for Christmas from a relative. The one by Carrie Fisher. Funny, I actually read a review about that book a few weeks ago. Anyway, they then go on to talk about other books they have gotten regarding bi-polar disorder. Shit, now I feel like an ass.
And the answer to the question I posed earlier. ... You stop listening. It's none of your damn business.
