The instructor was unusually talkative before class and the girl next to me kept looking over at me like she wanted to have a conversation but didn't know how.
Normally I would ignore these sorts of overtures, which is one of things that make people uncomfortable around me in social settings. Yesterday, however, I was at yoga and feeling kind and magnanimous and all of those things that one thinks she is supposed to feel while preparing for some Warrior One.
"It's so early"Yes, that was a lame opening. In my defense, it's not like I was trying to pick her up at a bar with that line. It's also not like she came up with anything better. She seemed relieved that I had said anything at all, and the words just gushed out of her:
"Ohmigosh, I know!! It's a great class, but it's so hard to get up in the mornings to come here. My boyfriend and I come together. I don't know how people do it otherwise."You are all welcome to send me cookies for keeping my snarky comments about alarm clocks to myself at that moment.
