So I don't forget.
I was walking out of practice, my hands full and fumbling, and I accidentally hit the alarm button on my key fob. The alarm started going off and I heard a small squeal. I looked up and there was a tall, beautiful black lady who was standing right next to my car when I had accidentally set it off. She was startled. Although we were still a distance away for each other I half hollered "sorry!" While walking toward her and my car. She continued to walk towards me and when we were closer I said "sorry about that, it was completely unintentional". She said in a heavy African accent "it's ok" and we walked past each other.
"Can I axe you somting?" I heard from behind me. "Sure" I stated. She asked me if the road she was traveling on, grocery bags held beside her, would lead her to west Edmonton mall. I told her I had no idea. When she started walking away I asked her if she would like a ride. She turned, paused, looked me up and down, and said "thank you". We walked to my car, I tossed everything in my hands to the back seat as well as the stuff that was on the seat, opened her door from the inside and let her in.
I told her I was going to turn around and head to WEM the way I knew how. I thought this was valid to tell her considering it was the opposite direction for a bit, and didn't want her to be frightened in the least. She nodded and said "ok". We exchanged small banter for about 30 seconds before I realized that the language barrier was a little much and didn't want to berate her with questions. I decided that maybe I should put on my iPod and listen to the some music, but decided against that too as I would have to scramble around the backseat which may make her nervous to what I was looking for.
We got to where she needed to be, and when I pulled up to let her out she said this to me: "have blessed sleep, you are very noble". She got out of the car, walked a few steps, turned around and smiled at me.
For one moment, and maybe a few after that, someone thought of me as noble. I don't know why this seems to mean so much to me, but it does. I've never been called noble before.
