Bank teller tears.

 Bank teller tears. A banker just teared up seeing us. It happened a lot yesterday too. Folks seem to be really glad to see us. We were almost tearing up too but because Olive's purse was stolen a few days ago. Our accout had more fees than money. We went to the bank to deal with losing all our cards and turns out my account was closed anyway because I haven't had any money in a year. We were so thrilled to give the banker an emotional reaction. "It's so good to see you two made it!" She said in a thick Japanese accent. They waived the fees. That was amazing. Olive made some friends in the hours after her purse was lifted. She was riding around 177 and Powell looking in dumpsters and shady places for her purse. That took her deep into some run down "partments. 4 youngsters ages 4-14 were watching her. She could hear them talking about her. "Who is that? What is she doing here?" Then they asked her "Say (they are all black kids) what are you doing here?" She smiled. "I'm looking for something." The kids had a quick huddle and asked another question "What you looking for?" Olive said her purse was stolen. They piped up "We will help you find it!" And with that they all ran to the dumpster. Olive was hollering "Nooo kids, please stay out of the dumpster." They continued prodding the trash until she said "Smell that? That's doo-doo." They began laughing, holding their noses and getting back. She said they still put in a lovely effort looking around. Olive didn't look like a clown but she did look like someone to know so the little girl started telling Olive all about her life and career aspirations. She really wanted Olive to stay with her and forget about all that silly dumpster purse nonsense. The 14 year old pulled out $6 and tried to hand it to Olive. "Keep your money wonderful kid." That made Olive tear up.
