Her name is Marie-Jennifer. I am grateful to have this woman in my life- an extraordinary thinker, feeler, and sometimes unintentionally downright hilarious. There was one time we spent a couple of hours at a cafe watching a film on my laptop. Afterwards, (in a daze I suppose?) she got up to throw away her coffee/food wrappers and walked towards the back of a large armchair where an unsuspecting youth was reading a book. I watched her almost throw her trash on him before doing a double-take and remarking to me "oh shit.. I thought he was the garbage can". You can be sure that a raucous "HAHAHAHOOTHOOT' was my immediate reaction. I mean, imagine minding your own business, enjoying a lovely evening with a book at a cafe, when a rain of trash suddenly falls on you from behind. and to hear the person apologizing explain "I thought you were the garbage can". . . .
