mine ended with a dude who runs the jerk chicken place near my flat loudly calling on jesus to drive disease out of my daughter's body. which wasn't what i was expecting.
I feel bad for laughing at this 😭
it was a trip.
she has a visible disability and he just came up out of the blue and asked if i wanted him to pray for her.
i was just pushing her back in the stroller from a flat ground session where she'd been napping/cheerleading for me. i'd gotten the trick i was after literally a few moments before, so i was in an ultra-accepting mood. i was like 'yeah sure, thanks, appreciate the kind gesture' thinking he meant it in a 'i'll keep her in my prayers way'.
that wasn't how he meant it at all.
he started praying out loud and i just had to stand there and wait. every time i thought it was almost over, he kicked up another gear until he was full on bellowing at the heavens.
it was still kind of moving though, in a slightly disturbing way.
we went our separate ways and then when i got back to my street he was there opening up the shop and it was like - oh shit i live right next to you...
