There were a lot of young boys around 6 or 7 years old running around, from her husband’s side of the family. I was sitting near one of them when out of nowhere he told me:
“You’re creepy.”
I wasn’t really sure how to react. How much did this kid know? I tried to play it cool.
“What? No I’m not!”
Please let him fall for this. The key is to say it with confidence right? He continued, maybe hoping to clarify:
“You have something coming out of your nose.”
Shit, like a booger? I checked my nose. And then I realized-
“Ohh…you mean my nose ring….No, no you see, this just means I’m cool, not creepy. Just give it like 10 years and you might end up wanting something like it.”
Little dude wasn’t sold at all. If you gotta convince someone you’re cool, it’s just not true. Even this random 6 year old knew that.
