Not my dialogue, not my day, but that just reminded me of one my sis sent me a week or two back. I'll let her take up the story...
Whilst in the queue to pay, I was standing next to a stand that had all sorts of Halloween crap on it, including ghoulish masks. Standing there, thinking about going home and putting out food for the cats and hedgehogs, I wasn't paying that much attention to those around me. And then, there was a tug on my CFP waistcoat. I glanced around thinking that maybe it was somebody who knew me from CFP or maybe somebody had just brushed past me, I couldn't see anybody and so went back to thinking of the cats etc.
A couple of minutes later, there was another tug, more insistent this time. As I looked down this time, there was a tiny Indian child, maybe 3 or 4 years old and she asked me "Do you like Halloween?" and I said, without thinking," No, I don't". She looked for an instant, crestfallen. But then she put her shoulders back and looked me straight in the eye (from her height, not easy) and said quite firmly, "Well, I do". And that was it. End of conversation.
