Twenty-Two Things About Love (#15)

Riding the train ... Seattle to Santa Barbara, yeah! The kids are partying in the cafe area, down below, drinking and smoking and whatnot. An 88 year old black lady (from another era) comes up to me, 'cuz I guess she felt the spirit. Or something. Thinking I'm on her side, she says:

"Those kids are smoking, and NONE of them are talking about the right thing, Jesus!"
(Pause.)

I just said, "Well ... can't you do both?"

She flew into a tirade, saying, "NO, sonny ... You cannot !!!" Ooops.
