Here I was again, right in the thick of it. Nobody would believe me if I even bothered to explain but what else could I do. A lie would also sound just too much so I guess I would have to go for it and hope that they could see the sincerity on my face. That however was also not my best suit. I did not have that face that you looked at and believed the words coming out of it. If anything it was always the opposite. When I was happy guys thought I was sad and when I was as mad as the hatter they thought I was jolly like a fat kid who just got cake.
Anyway, so I begun my tale hoping it would bail me out of the situation. I told the guy I loved to sing my heart out on the stage. I was coming home from a play that we were working on and that’s why I was dressed like a character from the lord of the rings. He was so polite and nodded in agreement, “I like youth like you today. Just let me see your identification and you can be on your way.” I had to wince a bit at that one before I replied, “my dog Hobby ate it!”
