There Goes the Neighborhood
I was taking my daughter to our neighborhood Taco del Mar, right next to a little red brick plaza and a giant statue of Lenin when I saw a black dog who appeared to be on it's own. I was talking to the fellow, petting it, looking for a tag, looking around for an owner type person. Then suddenly, I heard a voice from the other side of a short wall telling me how I should ask before petting someone else's dog. I apologized and explained that I didn't see an owner and thought he might be lost. She asked how I would like it if she went up and molested my daughter, 'cause that was basically what I had done.
Great. So now I am going to have to put an notice up in my neighborhood and register as a dog molester. Dog owners will go on the News at 10 and say, "I have a dog. Well, my cousin's in-laws do, down in Arlington and I just love that ol' bitch. I don't want their kind just 16 blocks from me"
They will picket my house, 'Not In Our Neighborhood!!!" They'll be no peace. Oh, the shame of it all.
I decided that perhaps dog owner lady was over reacting a bit and I did what any reasonable mother of a perfect, happy little girl would do. When Ellie was out of hearing range, I went to said dog owner lady and very slowly and clearly and a perhaps in a bit of a sternish voice, "You are hecka whacked"
Except I didn't say 'hecka.'

We must be related. (Because we both run into unreasonable people).
Robert walks up to children when ever he gets the chance and touches their faces. So far I have never seen any one get upset except once or twice the kid. He went up to a three year old boy and touched his nose and and lips and almost his eyes describing each feature, "Blue eyes, perfect nose, nice little mouth. . ." The woman said, "Your an artist aren't you?" Then she invited us to the playground to play with the boy and talk to her. That's nicer than accusing him of molestation.
