Well put-together woman (to me): arrtig muh namma .. p I can't - I can't -
Me: Take your time
Woman: I cann talk - I used to have those kynna camera - I work with these people have this big camera -
Me: Like a film camera?
Woman: No the first camera I had - I'm givin’ away my AGE here - a Pentax
Me: Yeah, an old film camera. We don't even take those here.
Woman: No but I'm saying, I like one of those big cameras? Not like Ashton Kutcher. I hate those Ashton Kutchers.
(Toad's note: she means the Nikon Coolpix point-n-shoots that Mr. Kutcher advertises.)
Me: Oh right, you like the bigger professional cameras.
Woman: Yes, I work with people who have those, what they called - not those camera but a different camera -
Me: A DSLR?
Woman: Yes. Because time goes so fast, you know, sometimes you see a picture of yourself with a funny face and you say, when was that? What was I doing? Like on 9/11. Time goes so fast.
Me: Oh I know. I'm 49 and for me, every year of my life takes about three months.
Woman: I'm 39! I'ma be 40 next month. This is my momma.
(Toad’s note: they both look 10 years younger than their age)
Me: She's the one who’s gonna turn 39. You're gonna turn 19. You aren't fooling me.
Woman: No haw haw haw
After some discussion, the shop decided that she was on benzos. Xanax. Couldn’t even speak at first, but got it together enough to have a conversation, which went from topic to topic really fast and had no actual point.
