:::The Wierdest Cab Driver I've Ever Had:::

And I've had some weird cab drivers. Like the guy who I s.w.e.a.r. was blind, or at least partially blind.

The conversation started out normally enough -- where are you from, blah, blah, blah. Then somewhere around Pennsylvania he started asking me questions about my dating history, like if I thought the boys in California were better than the boys out here, or if I had dated any Spanish boys while I lived there. When I said no, he asked me if I only dated White boys. What about Black boys? Why not Spanish boys? What about Asians? Did I speak Spanish? Did I not like Spanish boys?

No, he was not Spanish.

Then he launched into some story about a girl he knew (his daughter?) that had once dated a Black boy. He was a playboy, but he treated her well because she treated him well. I didn't really catch the whole story because he was speaking sooooo quietly and he had a really heavy accent, but I did hear him say that said Black boy was 'physically strong, you know, and she was physically strong as well,' which he said was important.

I am writing this post now, so you know that I made it home alive. Surprisingly enough, he did not kidnap me and force me into an arranged marriage with a Spanish boy.

Haha...glad you made it without becoming the subject the next Law & Order SVU!

Except I think would be just as interesting to hear his version of events and just how you answered all of those probing questions... :)

Hee! Yeah, my first thought was to wonder if he himself was Spanish and was fishing for a date...

I wonder what his motivation WAS, then? And I have to echo what Joie said about his version of events. I'm sure that would be fascinating.

Oh my goodness, what a story! Were you planning your escape route during this conversation or what?

I thought he was going to try to set you up with his son/cousin/nephew/neighbor! lol

Thank goodness you made it out alive. :)

Well, if you find him outside your house with a Spanish boy, you'll know what he has planned :)
