When did a act of random kindness from one women to another become so not the norm that labels are attached that do not apply.
I was in line in Wally World and noticed the lady and her son in front of me are members of the same sanctuary. I spoke and they returned the acknowledgement. The cashier totaled the order and it became apparent she did not have a enough money. She told the cashier to take the underwear off. They finished the transaction and walked off. I told the cashier I would purchase the underwear. My plan, To give them to her discreetly the next time we met, wrapped in a bag. Normally if I'm doing a ARK(random act of kindness) in a shopping line I pay for the persons belongings that are behind me. In this case I did not want to embarrass her in front of her son. She seem to be that type.
When I did see her I gave her the bag and said " God is faithful and you probably needed these. She never looked at me the same again. As though I had done something horrible to her. I could not figure it out. I thought maybe she was so hurt that her pride was getting the best of her. Turns out some time latter I have found out she thought I was propositioning her.
At first I was mad and thought how ungrateful of the hussy. After calming down I was sad for her that she possibly has never had a fellow female humane other than her mother maybe, buy her underwear or show her the act of kindness of caring wither she did without a necessity.
I can't help but wonder how many young girls and women have never felt the affection of another girl or women that was just plan sisterhood understanding our similarities without thinking it was a sexual act.
I have said in the past I am Grandma raised and some things would take place when I was young that made me aware of the special bond that exist between women. For instance if a women at church got sick a group of women would go to her house and bath her feed her clean her house etc. and not think twice about it neither would they put her business in the street by talking about anything that was going on in her house with others. They might have said something between themselves but it was always how they could help make it better or guide her. I witnessed my grandmother and aunt wash each others hair while laughing and enjoying a Saturday. Did that make them gay I don't think so.
Tell me I was wrong but I can't see it. If you can see it maybe you can enlighten me. I hope you can't.
Luv Ya See Ya Bye
