I'm standing in the return line at Wal-Mart and a small girl, who's a little shorter than my waist is staring up at me. She's wearing princess shoes and a shirt that reads, 'Future Rock Star.' I decide that since she's a child and she's staring at me there's no need to avoid eye contact so I blankly stare at her. Both with no emotion on our faces we hold eye contact. She mouths something to me but I can't make it out or understand her. She eventually turns her face into her Mother's dress. As they're about to walk away she looks back at me and sings, "If you were wise, you'd listen to me." And I know this is just the Oompa Loompa song from Willy Wonka but it does just go back to my previous blog. I think I need to have a more childish naive outlook.
I'm terrible with punctuation....
