Observances

Weird things seen on the subway...

Yesterday the Princess observed a woman on the subway apparently stroking the hair of a child sitting at her feet. Even after considerable time spent staring at this, the Princess was unable to confirm, visually, that the hair was actually connected to a body. She finally concluded that either a) the woman was practicing hair styling techniques on a mannequin head, or b) this was some scene out of a decidedly psycho movie. And also c) she should take up some other occupation on the subway that does not involve trying to make sense of things she sees.

Overheard on the train...

From an approximate nine-year-old to another child: "Hey, have you heard of Donald Trunk?" 

Also overheard on the train...

A three-year-old was disappointed with his visit to the zoo, because "they didn't have grass." 

"No, no grass," his mother agreed. "But they had alligators."

"They had ALLIGATORS?" he said in astonishment.

Hey, was Donald Trunk there, too?
