Lunch with Amber

Lunch with Amber today was kind of odd. We decided to meet at Pei Wei, which is one of our favorite spots and I was really in the mood for it today too. Well, we pull up and there is a sign on the door that reads:

"Due to repairs, we will be closed the rest of today. Please visit our location at Preston and Frankfurt."

WHAT?! Who does that? Anyway, we had to shift gears and ended up at Subway. We had a great lunch and enjoyed catching up. As we were standing outside our cars chatting before we left, a woman carrying a pet carrier approached us. There is a pet hospital right by where we were and Amber and I both assumed that we were in her way so we both stepped out of the way and said "Sorry!" Our assumption was incorrect. Here is what took place:

What Amber heard:
Woman: "Excuse me. Can either of you help me? I am homeless and I need money for a hotel room." Followed by a long deep sigh.

What Jamie heard:
Woman: "Excuse me. Can either of you help me? I am homeless and I need money to feed my children." Followed by a long deep sigh.

Whatever it was she said, Amber and I just stared at her. I mean, this woman was dressed with her hair done and make-up on. I instinctively grabbed the strap of my purse (as did Amber) and said that I didn't have any. Amber replied with the same response.

My point in telling you this story is not even about the woman. Rather, it was so funny that Amber and I had the same reaction to everything. We stepped out of her way, then stared at her, then grabbed our purse, then said no. Very odd. Randomly, we also both dressed in leopard print today too. Are we spending too much time together??
