The lady doesn't seem at all pleased to see me.
"Don't sit next to me," she snarls. She's sitting in the first forward-facing seat in the bus, while I've taken the sideways seat just in front of her, in order to help Demeter steady her walker.
The lady snaps a couple more times. I think she's talking to me; she never actually makes eye contact, so I ignore her.
A family boards, taking a scattering of available seats. There is a young girl among them; I'd say she's about seven. She seems to hang back; resisting her family's directions to sit down, she clings to one of the railings.
Snarly snappy lady does a complete about-face. She begins teasing the young girl and interacting with a purple bird puppet on the child's right hand.
"Does he have a name? I want to see him fly! Ow, he's pecking me!"
The girl smiles and relaxes.
So do I.
I guess I just wasn't young enough.
Maybe I needed a puppet.
