ReplyDeleteOne thing I miss from small town southern Utah days is that everyone waves at everyone. Chances are you know the guy, because there aren't that many human-types down there. I accept the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI've been beaten to the wave or "hello" several times this week--a pleasant surprise considering I went from small town, country, to big city, east coast. My toddler especially gets lots of "Hey darlin'"s and "Hi honey"s.
ReplyDeleteI usually find myself asking the "who's that weirdo" question. I think I need to get a bit of your half is glass full outlook. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the many reasons I love having kids is that strangers wave and smile at them. It is like a personal introduction, having a cute baby around.
