Jodi and The Janitor

As promised, I am going to share some of the "interesting happenings" that occur in my place of work. Warning... what you are about to read is NOT a comedy. This was an actual conversation held between myself and the Janitor at my building. Disclaimer: The opinions of the Janitor are not my own. I do not believe all janitors to have his opinions, or his ignorance. I'm just sharing an unbelievable exchange of words.

Janitor: You like babies don't you?
Jodi: Yes, I love babies.
Janitor: How come you don't have you none?
Jodi: Well, it is not always that simple for everyone.
Janitor: Somethin' wrong with you?
Jodi: No.
Janitor: Well how come you can't have no babies?
Jodi: Well, it is not that I can't. I have already had two miscarriages, and we opted to adopt rather than to go through the pain of another miscarriage.
Janitor: Where you adopting from? You adopting from here, or you getting one of them foreign babies?
Jodi: We are adopting from Guatemala.
Janitor: Why can't you adopt from here there are lots of babies here that need a mama.
Jodi: I realize that, but we just didn't we didn't want to risk having the mother come back and claim her baby. Plus it takes too long.
Janitor: what's wrong with her mother?
Jodi: Nothing.
Janitor: You know them babies are stold.
Jodi: They have DNA tests to prevent that kind of thing.
Janitor: They sell them too.
Jodi: Well that is an issue with the mother, you can not punish the child for the mothers bad choice.
Janitor: There is a problem with all them foreigners comin' in.. I just don't like it, all them Mexicans taken our jobs.
Jodi: I love the Mexicans, I don't have a problem with them at all. They are very poor and they are only looking to feed their families.
Janitor: (Pointing at a picture of my baby) There is killin' in their blood. All them Iraqis blowin up things they are born to kill.
Jodi: Well I disagree I think killing is learned.
Janitor: Look at her, she don't even look like you, she is going to know you are not her mama.
Jodi: I will be her mama! She has two mothers. She will be well aware that she had another mother that loved her very much.
Janitor: Well it just aint right, you know all them Iraqis comin' down here, there aint no Americans than own no gas stations.
Jodi: Well, you know we do get a lot of our oil from Iraq. It really makes sense to me.
Janitor: Well that just aint right.
Jodi: Well, you have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to mine.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! The sad thing is that he had many more annoying comments, I just can't remember them right now. Why I shared so much personal information with him, I haven't a clue. I guess I was just feeling a little charitable that day. Needless to say, I avoid him now. Maybe not the best solution, but it works for me.
