BATHING CAP

When I finished putting on my bathing suit today at the health club, I suddenly remembered that last week, the strap on my bathing cap broke. Well, no problem … I always keep an extra new pair of goggles and another new bathing cap in my gym bag. But when I reached in my bag, to my horror I discovered, that the cap was not a new one, but an old one that I had worn a few years ago. In addition, it had deteriorated and almost fell apart in my hands.

What a bummer. I was ready to jump in the pool, but now I couldn’t go swimming, as the water would totally mess up my hair. For a few minutes, I just sat there feeling very irritated. But then, I realized it wasn’t a complete loss. I could get in pool and walk in the water – forward, backwards, and sideway -- as I do every time I go swimming.

But when I climbed out of the pool, I though to myself, “It served me right.” When I arrived at the health club, I noticed a van pull into the handicap parking space next to me. The female driver didn’t look disabled and her pre-teen daughter got out of the car. I asked the young girl when she walked past, “What disability does your Mom have?” She just kind of shrugged her shoulders and I said, “Tell your Mom that’s a no-no.”

I immediately regretted it. The young girl had nothing to do with it and if her Mom had walked past, I probably wouldn’t have said anything to her. I felt like a jerk and even thought that surely something unpleasant would now happen to me. Sure enough, one bad turn deserves another -- and I got it.
