taxi

yesterday, i had the nicest taxi driver. most of the time when you're crossing town, the taxi drivers give you the biggest hassle about which route to take, but this guy was so nice. he took whichever way we wanted and had the gentlest voice. after finding out we were christians, he said, "i used to be a christian. but now i'm like a lost sheep. haha." i asked him how he became a christian and then what happened to make him stop. he said, " i just started going with a friend and then i stopped for no real reason."
then lisa says to me in english in the back seat, "he has two thumbs." and i was like, "what? who doesn't have two thumbs?" and she said, "no. on the same hand." and sure enough on his left hand, he had TWO THUMBS!!! one just below the other. and then lisa and i proceeded to talk more in english about how weird it was. lisa was all, "if i was him, i'd cut that thing off!" hehe.

i really wanted to take a picture but i couldn't because i'm not rude; i only talk about peoples' deformities in their presence in a language they can't understand.
three thumbs up!
