Strange coincidence?

Question

I was walking through my local town, and my mind wandered to my first school. There was a young girl there that I thought was gorgeous. I was only five and she was about the same. One day she never came to school and I was told that she had changed schools. I was remembering how upset I was. She always had very well pleated hair and was always smart. As I thought about her, I turned a corner and passed a dry cleaners. I glimpsed in the window and there was a female with her back to me with exactly the same pleated hair. I got a shock at first but told myself, she wasn't going to be walking about with the same pleated hair as she did at 5 years old, as she would be 45 then. She turned a little and of course it was not her. I walked further up the street,laughing at myself for thinking that way. I turned the corner of a prefab building and bumped into someone. She turned and said sorry. It was her. I just stood there pointing at her with my mouth open. She must have thought me crazy. She didn't recognise me and walked on. She still looked gorgeous.

Perhaps she did recognize you and that's why she walked on. It's probably a case of  déjà vu rather than coincidence. It seems unlikely to me that you would recognize a 45-year-old woman by the memory of a child of 5 especially after 40 years.

NG, I have autism, something you thought was a disability until I pointed out that most of the greatest people in history had autism including Einstein. I have A very good memory whereas you are a bit of a plain jane. Some have a talent for music, maths and lots of other things You, of course, have your nice quality and are never nasty to people as YOU said, some would disagree. I still don't know why you bother, you always get your hole kicked, causing you to run around deleting your comments when I embarrass you too much. I would love a penny for all your deleted crap in the last month. You do realise that this is only M, for some reason, copying old posts and reposting them and thinking she is very entertaining, don't you? She thinks that Pearl should be kicked off the site because she doesn't think she is entertaining enough, then she does THIS? A two year old would love the repetition. Yet it still attracts trolls like you NG? You stupid little bastard HAHAHA! So I will give you a tip NG, just because you are a fecking dunce, it doesn't mean we all are. I got more sh!t on you than your Audi's roof.
