Is this a normal occurrence?

Sounds odd for sure. You probably misheard. I bet she was saying she fell and she was hoping to buy some rice for dinner. And then was talking about allowing her to show you a flow chart on the advantages of thermal dynamics.

Not all children like cabbage, so what's up with this guy, he's buying six. Hehe.

That was another thing I thought, that perhaps my basket full of cabbage somehow labeled me as a Satanist or something even more diabolical. Because really, who buys cabbage at 7 in the morning other than Satanists.

Cabbage at 7 in the morning?! Perhaps you are deserving of the fires of hell good sir!

Unfortunately, I can see that being plausible in general.


Buying cabbage at 7am is kinda funny, though.


Honestly, 90% of what you described wasn't weird. If you didn't mention the parent congratulating her daughter on a job well done, it would have been a "cute...kinda creepy kid talking abut Jesus." That has happened to me before many times, but I grew up in Texas... so it was normal.

The parent congratulating, instead of nervously apologizing or something, is what makes this very "interesting."

Don't leave us in suspense. Did being told you're a horrible person who deserved eternal torture make you suddenly abandon your faith and just accept everything Christianity says you should?

Sounds like something out of the documentry,"Lord, save us from your followers"

But seriously, you should really stop wearing those false Dracula teeth,
you can scare the wits out of anyone, and at 7am, O'boy.

Even the fundamentalist zealots I've encountered in my life have never behaved like that, let alone allow their small children to take it up on their own. What led her to think you needed saving, I'm wondering. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be cabbages.

Depends on the locale and particular denominational adherence of the family.
In parts of the rural south, I would tend to say it's not THAT uncommon.
In fact it would've been encouraged and typical of the group in which I grew up (but left).
For the not so brazen, there were 'Chick Tracts' that would be distributed.
