Met My New BF at Lunch Today

  • [Waiting for a crosswalk, a two and a half year old boy is standing next to me holding hands with his elder-ish Eastern European nanny. Across the street, a pug is being dragged into a building's lobby by a bored owner.]
  • Boy [to nanny]: Doggy! It's a doggy! Look!
  • [Nanny doesn't respond or look down. The boy modifies his emphasis, assuming that he's pronouncing it wrong because he's two and not fluent in English. He shakes her hand so she'll look.]
  • Boy: Dough-gy. Dah-gEE? Doggy! Over there!
  • [Nanny continues to ignore the human organism displaying genuine interest and enthusiasm for his surroundings. The boy turns to me.]
  • Boy: It's a dog?
  • Me: Yep.
  • [He smiles.]
  • Boy: Yep. Dog.
  • Me: Mmhm.
  • Boy: Not iguana and not squirrel.
  • Me: Nope.
  • [The light changes and we walk away into the universe.]
