It Just Happened & I Can't Believe It
Monday, December 28th, 2009 10:34 amSo I have a small bumpersticker on my chair's back reading "Thank you for not patting me on the head."
Clearly the couple this morning overlooked it.
I was in a post-swimming trance, reading SGA fanfic, and waiting for the paratransit van (as you do). Suddenly a woman looms into my vision. "Why did you put sparkles in your hair?" she queries. I'm "huh? buh..." and she repeats "do you know you have sparkles in your hair?" I shrink away from her hands which are swooping in for a landing. "Oh look, dear" as she turns to her male partner, "It's her gray hair! It sparkles! Did you know your hair sparkles?"
I was speechless, although the urge to bite was strong. She invited her guy over to look at the remarkable sight of my head. At that point I got myself together enough to speed around 15 feet away and stare balefully at them. They didn't, thank Ghu, follow me.
Just another morning on the planet. At least it's 20° F (which is warm in these parts).
