3154. Norma’s thrilling life
© Bruce Goodman 24 March 2025


No day was ever normal for Norma. Her life seemed to bounce from one adventure to another. Of course a great deal of the adventure could possibly be in the telling, but her relating of life’s incidents was always interesting.

Today, at the weekly afternoon tea for those recovering from a stroke, Norma was asked what was the strangest thing that has ever happened to you. Well, what a saga!

It had been an ordinary day and Norma had to go to the bank to ask about what seemed to be a strange expense on her bank statement. As she waited in line three men appeared in masks wielding guns. They shouted “Hit the floor!” Naturally Norma obeyed as did everyone else in the bank. The robbery lasted only a few minutes and the thieves took off. Slowly people rose, brushing their clothes down, and looking frightened and bewildered. They had to wait for the police before they could leave.

The nice man next to Norma was calm and consoling. “We met on the floor,” said Norma. He and Norma have now been married for thirty-six years.
