One day, I made the biggest mishap. If I walked to the grocery, the mishap would not have happened. It was a hot summer day and I wanted coconut water, so I took a taxi to the grocery. I bought some packs of coconut water and then I took a taxi home. When the taxi pulled away from the grocery, just a little over 100 feet from the grocery stood a truck. A man was standing outside of the truck, with a cutlass in hand, cutting a coconut for a woman. A few people were standing with coconuts in their hands, straw to their lips, drinking coconut water. And me in the taxi with packs of coconut water. What the Jesus! That is something to cry about!
