Am I a soft touch?

There is this elderly woman who lives on the block of the store. She is a cancer survivor with a buzz cut who has one of those wheely things that serves as a walker but she can sit down in too. Anyway I always say hello to her and stop to talk. She is often in front of the senior citizens center down the block. Anyways she calls me over to ask me a question. She says "Can Morgan Stanley stop payment on a check." She was supposed to get a check today and she didn't get it. She said when she called up that said that she would get it in a few days when things "calmed" down. And could I lend her $20 because she had absolutely no money and would pay me back Friday when she got her Social Security check. I said sure. I don't know if the story was true,but to be honest there was an odor of Icelandic fish oil to it, but what's twenty dollars. She went and bought milk and bread in the bodega next store. So that's fine with me. I just hope I don't have a bunch of old ladies lining up at the door tomorrow. Some of those bitches own five brownstones and have more money that Bill Gates.
