This morning I board the train and snag a seat all to
myself. It seems like it is going to be a pretty quiet day on the train today
until… Anderson/Woburn! Yup! An entire class of fifth graders, their chaperons
and their siblings boarded the train and sat where… NEXT TO ME!
A woman not part of the class sits with me in our three
seater and then she scoots in to the middle seat which allows someone from this
class to sit. Wouldn’t you know it’s a mom…with two young kids…who wish to both
sit on her lap so my three seater turned into a five seater! AWESOME! I try to
continue reading while I was squished up against the window but they keep
talking and I swear to GOD if I heard “And he huffed and he puffed and he blew
the house down.” One more freakin’ time, I was gonna choke someone! My coffee,
which is vital in the morning to me, had not kicked in yet and I couldn’t take
it!
We finally pull in to North Station and the lovely mom on
the end of the seat with the two kids lets me and the lady next to me out first
so that we didn’t have to be stuck with her crew. How thoughtful and I very
much appreciated it.
I darted to the T and hoped that I wouldn’t be on the T with
them… and PS if they tried to go on the T during rush hour, they’d lose
everyone. There is no way a crew of that size would get on in one shot. Sooo, I
lucked out and they didn’t get on the T. YAY!
Then, while I am waiting for the train a guy behind me goes
to a girl behind me “Let’s take the Green line. This one is going to be what
the Train Girl calls ‘Sardine Packed’!” YUP! FOR REAL made my day!! I didn’t
say anything because I try to be inconspicuous but I was glowing inside and
that one line made up for my entire train ride of the Three Little Pigs!
Happy Friday Everyone! Enjoy the weekend!
