Thrifty Friends

I walked to the thrift store today. When I was done looking around I asked a man if he knew where a hardware store was (I wanted to buy ropes for double dutch). I told him I was walking and he said it was too far to walk so he offered to drive. His wife was shopping so we talked for 30 or 45 minutes while she finished. They drove me to Home Depot, I bought my rope and duct tape (I know, I was just asking for them to kidnap me), and theeeennn... they took me out to lunch!! We went to this Chinese food buffet and they paid for me. They were so nice. Now mom, dad, and concerned friends, I know I shouldn't get in a car with strangers, but just look at them! They drove me home and Matt and Rima and her friend Megan were hanging outside. They saw them and thought they were my grandparents. Then Sheila said, "It was so nice to meet your friend!" and they got confused.
