"The Day I Met a ‘Half Reptilian’ at the Crystal Shop.
It was a sunny day, and since I had just moved to a new state, I decided to get out and explore a little. I was bored, and even though I had boxes waiting to be unpacked, I just didn’t feel like doing any of it. So I thought, Why not go crystal shopping? I love crystals, so I Googled the nearest shop and off I went. I walked into this really unique little store—crystals, tarot readings, incense, religious items, the whole vibe. As soon as I stepped in, an amethyst caught my eye. It was so pretty; I picked it up to get a closer look. But then… I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation happening at the counter. The cashier and a woman were talking about reptilians. Yes—reptilians. The customer was telling the cashier that she was half reptilian and that her great-great-grandfather was a reptilian too. I tried to mind my business, pretending to browse other stones, but then the lady suddenly pulled down the back of her pants—just enough to show the top of her butt—and said, “See? I still have the tip of the tail. Evolution shaped it into this.” At that point, I felt so awkward I didn’t even know where to look. And honestly, my brain went, What if reptilians ARE real…and what if I’m standing here as her next meal? Yikes. I grabbed my amethyst, went straight to the counter, and said as politely as I could, “Excuse me, can I pay for this? I’m in a bit of a hurry.” The cashier nodded, told the woman she’d be right back, rang me up, and I got out of there. I drove home wondering: Was that lady dealing with something mentally… or was she really claiming to be half reptilian? I wasn’t about to stay and find out. But it did leave me thinking: Are reptilians real? Would you have done what I did—pay and leave—or would you have stayed to hear the rest of that wild conversation?
