Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
A young man with a shaved head was waiting to change in a big bill at the Plaza Market downtown on Wabash. I moved on through the checkout line while he passed the time looking around. Then I noticed a penny stuck neatly on the back of his head.
Too weird. OK, what is this, a clever way of saying there’s a price on his head or a penny for his thoughts? Maybe something sinister, like a gang thing?
I grabbed my stuff and headed out, then stopped myself. I went back into the store and said, “I’m sorry, I’ve just got to know why you have a penny stuck on your head.”
He felt the back of his head and in shock said, “Whoa!”
Sometimes life isn’t all that complicated, and there is no secret plan.
