(Not) Making New Friends
At a baby shower where there were only two babies
and one pregnant woman, a group just at the
beginning of its fecundity.
Woman brought her shy almost-toddler to talk.
What’s to say?
Me: Do you have a dog?
I knew she did. But no response.
Me: Do you like your dog?
Not even a nod of the head.
Me: Do you have a giraffe?
Mom: Oh, no. We haven’t been able to take baby
to the zoo yet.
Me to toddler: I heard you have a giraffe in your
back yard.
Mom: No. She doesn’t.
Mom moves away with the babe.
WTF is that?

naturals. So is bizarre humor. Might be
good for adults, too.
