So, I'm driving home today and I've got my windows down and the breeze is amazingly cool and my favorite song is on the radio and I'm just thinking how nothing could distract me from this fabulous mood....And RIGHT at that moment (of course) I see this woman. This black, late 20's, tired looking woman just leaning against the pole, waiting for the bus....Sucking. Her thumb.

(I'll give you a little moment for that image to appear in your head...There we go!)

Yes, sucking her thumb, folks. As in what babies do and small kids, and sometimes even bigger kids until they're 8 (Don't judge me!) But not. Adults. And not. In public. And especially not at the bus stop. Can't she get a ticket for that? If I were a cop, I would give out adult thumbsucking tickets every chance I got. And they would have to just pay me directly to ease my pain and suffering at having to witness such an act. I would probably end up making some pretty good cash, because unfortunately, this is not the first time I have been forced to witness such adorable behavior. And sadly enough, probably not the last.

Maybe she missed out on the requisite thumb-sucking as a child and is making up for it as an adult?

I never sucked my thumb as a child, and as a "little older than late twenties" woman....I still don't.

Did you ever see the movie, 'Thumbsucker?' Kind of odd, but touching. Also, it's odd that the next movie the "thumbsucker" was in was 'The Chumscrubber.' You can't make this stuff up!
