ADVENTURES FROM STORAGE B: Mojo Rising
-by Kian Bezeel
I’ve written before about my work-wife’s mojo that drives men to obsession. The mojo has expanded and crossed gender lines.
She teaches English as a Second Language (ESL) classes in the evening. One of her female students started taking multiple candid photos of her and asking her to hang out outside of class. The student thinks WW is a wonderful teacher and is overly grateful. WW thinks this behavior is strange and thinks the student is a little crazy.
I said, “Oh, she’s just got a girl-crush on you.”
WW took this to mean I think the student is gay and hitting on her. I explained that that would just be a crush. A girl-crush (or boy-crush) indicates strong affectionate feelings for a member of the same sex, but not in a sexual or romantic way. It can be someone you greatly admire or just really like a lot.
WW doesn’t understand the concept; even though she understands the meaning of the words because she has never had a girl-crush on anyone. Furthermore, she still somewhat doubts the existence of her mojo.
Today, the girl-crush student was insistent that WW have lunch with her. She is moving to England and might not get the chance to see her again. WW reluctantly agreed to go. When she returned, she came to my cubicle saying, “OK, you’re not allowed to laugh at me.”
“Oh, I can’t promise a thing like that,” I said. “What happened?”
Slightly embarrassed, she produced what looked like an oblong jewelry box and handed it to me to open. “I tried not to accept it,” she said.
Inside was a very nice Cartier pen. I looked it up. They sell for $250-$600.
They say the pen is mightier than the sword. I say the mojo is mightier than the pen. The force is strong in this one.
