On my walk home from the metro today I passed an old woman walking in the other direction. She was wearing a light blue trench coat and her face was barely visible underneath a tattered, old umbrella. As she approached, I smiled at her.
She responded immediately in a hiss, "What you smiling about?" And then continued on to herself as we passed each other, "Cracker-ass kids moving into my neighborhood smiling all the time."
Naturally this made me smile even more.
