Prompt:
Have you ever bought something because you felt sorry for it but you secretly wanted it? Write about this in your Blog entry today.


---------

If I remember correctly, I never felt sorry for anything I ever bought. Once I bought a whole lot of grapefruit at a sale in a local fair because I felt sorry for the old man selling it. The people were passing him by, and paying much more attention to other vendors. That poor old man was sitting under the sun, perspiring like crazy. So I bought all his grapefruit, which turned out to be sweet, juicy, and excellent, nothing like I could get in the local Publix.

Then, being me, if I secretly want something, I'll probably buy it if I have the means. If not, I'll forget about it.

The only other thing that comes to my mind is my last cat. My son said he was going to take Noche, their old cat, to the shelter because she wasn't getting along with the other cat and their huge dog, and as the result, she was thrashing their house. So I asked him to bring Noche to me, instead. He agreed, but only on a temporary basis because he didn't want her to mess my house, too.

Well, it wasn't temporary. Moreover, Noche learned or reverted to better behavior in a very short time and I fell in love with her, the weirdo cat! But so cute and loving, too! Unfortunately, she passed away suddenly last year from a heart attack. She was sixteen. Although I've had other cats at different times, Noche is still in my heart and in my cellphone and other devices, in numerous photos.
