Undetermined day in March… Sometime between Tuesday and the following Tuesday
I swear – sometimes I want to scream at people here. Okay, maybe not, but I honestly don’t get it when kids and even teenagers stare at me when I’m not doing a damn thing. They treat me like an animal at a zoo (at least it’s not a petting zoo, huh?). But all this little girl has done all morning is stare at me. I wake up and look out to the courtyard and I see this girl sitting directly across the way from me… I fall back asleep for a little while, wake up again and there she is… just… staring. I sit up and look around and now she’s moved to a spot where she can stare some more… seriously? Really, is it necessary to keep an eye on me at all times? Am I really that interesting, scary, magnificent, grotesque? I mean, come on – my life is not that exciting. I do not do extraordinary things. I can’t breath fire. I can’t fly. I can’t even play soccer.
Well, you are interesting to look at... Don't worry, in a good way. We're used to diversity, they aren't, so that may be an explanation.
ReplyDeleteTrue. And I do realize that, but I also have been in village for a year now - and I still find children staring at me. Not as often anymore... but... more than I would like.
