I am serius! Last weekend my Indiana friends, Jennifer and Eileen(pictures coming soon) traveled to Paris. We had a great time seeing all the major and minor attractions. While riding the Metro, we were approached by 3 teens who wanted us to sign a pettition. They kept pushing the paper in our laps . We just kept saying "no". Finally they left. Within seconds I realized my wallet was missing from my purse.
I jumped up and started to run after them. Fast.
I opened train doors and ran through 3 cars knocking down a woman on my way.
In the third car I saw them ready to exit the train at the next stop.
I screamed, "Stop him! He has my wallet!!!"
A man grabbed two of the guys by the back of the coat.
The robber threw my wallet over his shoulder. It landed at my feet!
The train doors opened and they escaped.
I had my wallet with everything still inside!
That was the most exhausting 10 seconds of my enter life. I GOT ROBBED BUT I GOT MY WALLET BACK! Amazing.
This story is so much better in person because I have great hand motions to go with it. Just ask me. I would be happy to tell the story again!

ReplyDeleteAs someone who also uses a lot of hand gestures, I can appreciate this!
I am imagining hand motions with rising voice syndrome.
