This morning at the pool I asked the lifeguard, almost my
age how was his Halloween. I
should have remembered that he is always looking for someone to talk to, he
started telling me. He started and at his first pause I gave I nodded and shoved off swimming. I
went down the lane and back. When I
returned he was waiting to continue the his talk.
Due to pumps, fans, and what the roar of the swimming team
in the next pool I could not hear what he was saying. But I could tell by his body language that when he paused and smiled he
just said another funny punchline, so I laughed and moved on only to return for him to continue.
Now, thinking it over, I wonder if told me what he thought was
funny racial or something else that I would not think was funny, yet by
laughing, like I caught on, it was like I was endorsing him?
Darn. I need to
listen more when someone talks to me.
