People Magnet?

 My mom and I have always laughed that we attract people.
 We are people magnets.
 We must ooze something that people see and say, "Let me just tell this person, my life story with many adjectives!"
 Most times, this is an utter joy, and gives me much needed material. Other times, I want people to be able to take facial cues, look at the big picture.
 On an airplane, my eyes are closed, I have earplugs in, and I am holding prayer beads. Does this scream, Talk To Me! Maybe I have a conversation aroma, that I am unaware of?
 Strangers talk to me, under the bathroom door, in many places. " Can you believe how long women have to wait in lines at the bathroom?" stranger is talking. I look around, and think, ( how do you make a thinking bubble on paper?), Maybe its a distant cousin, so of course I reply, "I know, flush!"
 This week was no different. I was at Piedmont Hospital, in the nuclear medicine department, with Emma for some tests. Emma and I both look anxious, the procedure will be three hours, she goes back. I pull out my Kindle and am sitting in a corner. Only one other person, is in the small, freezing waiting room. Its very quiet, when something bellows, " Are you having a procedure?"
 "No, my daughter." whispered I.
 Stranger Carol (yes she told me her name) proceeds, " Well I have had breast cancer, I have a pacemaker and I may have a blood clot!"
 " Oh my, I am so sorry, eyes go back to book." me reading.
 SC ( stranger Carol) moves closer, to continue about not having 92.00 dollars for a co-pay, and she goes to the hand sanitizer machine, to put the soap in her hair!!! not on her hands, her hair. I think she feels bad, because I have on lipstick. ( this is my thought process!!)
 SC has 63 years worth of family stories, to fill up at least two of my hours. She is a white racist, and a christian,( which I always find fascinating!), she always wanted children, and most of her family has been in jail. She has worked for the banking system for over twenty years, with many of those years being disabled due to bad things!!!!! I have placed my Kindle in my purse.
She goes back to her exam, and I sigh. So pitiful, and in pain, what a horrible combo. She has shared her life story with me, why?????
 SC comes out, and I speak, "Now you can go home."
 "Oh no, I have to wait" SC does not miss a beat.
 " I think I will need another Heart Cath, and those scare me, although......I did not bruise when they put the catheter in my groin, she points!" " Have you ate?" SC was thinking about me.
 " I am fine, thank you." me.
 Technician comes out, and says she can go.
 SC comes over to me, grabs me out of the chair, and hugs and kisses me, almost in the mouth!
 I tell her, I wish for her the best and remind her not to let her nephew crack head  move in with her.
She leaves.
Again, I smile, shaking my head and thinking, " Brain, I hope you took notes, because this is some good stuff!"

We never know, never, who we will meet up with in life. Also, we will never know this SC's heart, she just needed a listening ear.
Emma came out of her exam and looked at me, " Mom you look drained!"
" Stranger Carol...(Emma looked confused) lets get out of this place, hospitals make me sick!)
Like my mom says, " Bonnie we attract all kinds!! its  a gift??!!"

A gift with no return policy! Magnets, its a gift for sure!!!
