So this afternoon, we went to the downtown library to check out some cds for our upcoming road trip. While we were in the cd section, I was standing off to the side with the stroller, holding Erin. Up walks a very strange looking woman with "666" written in thick black marker on her forehead (she looks strange even without the numbers). She admires Erin for a minute or so, saying "it's so small" (in her defense, Erin wasn't wearing any colors that indicated that she was a girl). Erin gave her a few shy smiles while I was thinking how much I wanted her to get away from me and my child.
So why the 666? Does she think she's the anti-christ? Does she think the anti-christ is here and the end of the world is coming? Or maybe it's like that scene in Garden State, and last night she passed out drunk while a friend wrote it on her forehead and she doesn't even know it's there.
After she walked off, I kind of regretted not asking her about it. It would have been out of character for me, but what the heck? It's not like I'm the weird one here.
And then while we were in the checkout line, in walks a man who is making loud grunting noises and grabs himself inappropriately. He continues to make the noises as he walks around and I realize they are more like tics and he probably has tourette's.
Interesting day at the public library.
