I picked up a hitch hiker today

 I wasn't even going to go to Brooklyn to get groceries but I was pulling out of the Old country market and there was a 68-year-old woman thumbing it down us 12 13°. My car doesn't have heat in it but she was glad that I gave her a ride. She tried to give me $5 when I told her I had not even intended on coming this way. 

She said her name was Vicky that she was a retired school teacher from onstead. We made small talk I asked if she could us a ride home as well? She said yes. I had been at the old country market to get a couple propane tanks filled but they were short handed and I wasn't able to get them filled. 

I figured I'd take her home and then go trade one at the dollar mall. She had said that she lived Yoder's so while she was in the store I called them and they said that they fill tanks and are open until 10.

On the way to Yoder's Vicky asked me what I write.

I told her that I write poetry it's my short hand 

"I can't write a story" she said she would like to hear something so I ripped ADHD doesn't spell anything on her so she can understand me a little. She tried to explain to me that c.o.d and COPD had nothing to do with each other...... Hmmm was she listening to me?

While the station attendant was filling the tanks I opened my book on my phone it's a Kindle direct sample read  check it out while I put the tanks into the car.

After I get heading to her house she hand's my phone back and said I spelled fictitious wrong so she didn't read any farther. People won't read through mistakes she said. I told her that I have an app that won't let me spell wrong even when I try. Is snot funny?

Irene pool from the knights of Columbus in Brooklyn was also a school teacher and she said that same thing to me 15 years ago. Blessed be the poor

I don't know how to take things now. 

Fictitious... people are going to read what they want and get nothing that the author even envisioned.

Think about it.... She was hitch hiking and it's 13 degrees and now she's criticizing me on the 10th word in the book. She told me that my dog's name Lacihte is spelled wrong. It's ethical backwards I told her.

She disagreed I ask you would Google steer me wrong?Take Google out with a bang
