Is It That Obvious?

As my family and I were leaving Target today, I saw a man standing by the exit wearing an Indianapolis Colts jacket and hat. So I jokingly said to him, “Who are you rooting for tomorrow?” He laughed and said, “I’ll give you two guesses!”

We both laughed and my family and I continued out of the store. It was then that my wife said to the kids, “Wow, Dad actually talked to someone!” My son said, “We’ve got to write this down!” My daughter said, “We’ve got to put this in the Dad Book!” They all just laughed and laughed as they made a few more remarks on the way to the car.

Now, it is no secret that I’m an introvert. But is it that obvious? Is the fact that I briefly spoke with a stranger such big news? Perhaps I need to take an honest look at myself to make sure I’m not becoming asocial.

Sheesh!
