You Cue!
Written by Barb Ballard on August 6th, 2009 | 2 CommentsToday was a first for me. While at the mall with my son, a lady walked up to me and said “You Cue!”. Indeed as my son and I wandered through the mall talking, I had been cueing to him. She was from neighboring Montgomery County, but we knew some of the same people. I was so surprised though to have someone actually come up and know what it was I was doing, that I was somewhat flabbergasted. I don’t even remember if I told her my name! I know my son told her his name and we talked about where he goes to school. I just thought it was so neat that someone stopped me in the middle of a mall to say “hello” because they saw me cue.
Have any of you ever met someone because they saw you cue?
