I did it already knowing in The Kid Used To Dream

She asked me to walk into the store and get some spices for the cornbread dressing. It’s the day before Thanksgiving…

But…

I did it and didn’t say a word. I already knew there would be none. I also know that had I made that statement she would have kicked down the gates of hell to walk in there and look for herself.

So, I went. I stood there long enough for this woman to ask me if I was lost. No, I’m taking inventory to make sure I was correct about those spices not being here. One bottle at a time and one shelf at a time I surveyed the inventory. Those spices were not there. They were sold out.

I go back outside empty handed. Sorry - they were all out.

It’s okay - thanks for looking.

Sometimes - peace - is a hard task.
