At the Christian bookstore, my nearest and quietest wifi spot, I make it a point to keep personal contact to a minimum. Get in quick, keep my head down, cough out a coffee order, stick in the headphones and wish I’d splurged on the expensive pair that would keep out the noise from bible study in progress nearby.
But today it was unavoidable. I had to pee, wasn’t finished with my work, couldn’t justify a drive home. Pretty urgent, and I didn’t know where the bathroom was. So I asked the normal-looking barista, probably a Lee student majoring in Sociology:
Me: ”Excuse me, but where is your bathroom?”
Sociology major barista: ”Just behind the puppet wall.”
JUST BEHIND THE PUPPET WALL.
Those damned Christian puppets, which I have been trying so hard to avoid looking at, much less approaching, were barring my way to empty-bladdered bliss. Shit.
We can all agree- puppets are creepy, as are many aspects of Christianity. And the combination is enough to scare the piss out of anyone.
