A friend dragged me to one of those New Age expos yesterday. It was horrible. First of all, the mingled scents of patchouli, floral essences and candles made me gag. Plus, everything there was really expensive and I was bored stiff.
I get dangerous when I’m bored.
A palm reader of the Romany persuasion offered me a free reading. Sure, what the hell.
“You have three children.”
“No, two,” I said. (This is a common line the fraudulent ones use. They figure everyone has two, then they hand you a line about the third one was a miscarriage.)
“You are a very strong woman, a very independent woman.”
I’m over 50 and not wearing a wedding ring. Gee, I wonder how she figured that out.
“There is a man, a Leo, coming into your life. He has the letter J in his name. You will meet him in March,” she said.
“I meet a lot of people,” I responded. “J is a pretty common initial for a name.”
“Someone new is coming into your family, there is going to be a wedding and everyone will want to celebrate.”
How does she do it? Wow.
I was pretty rude. I just wasn’t in the mood; she didn’t even put on a good show.
And if she’d made the same guesses on the basis of your horoscope?
