more foot stories

oh - today i also heard a kid refer to me as "elder sister" (in hokkien) rather than "auntie". haha - kids are always fascinated by the injured foot because they don't know what's wrong with it. it kind of makes some parents embarrassed when they ask them. sometimes i smile or say hi to kids who stare. you just can't get annoyed by their innocence. its the adults who annoy me. they always ask "what happened?" and then the reply - "i fractured my foot" doesn't seem to satisfy them. (nor is it enough to get rid of them. maybe i'm too subtle when i state the obvious and i need to be more g.l.) they always want to know the *whole* story, even though i don't. even when you are trying to have some food or something, they still want you to talk to them!!! sometimes they even come up with their own versions. this really really annoys the hell out of me. maybe i should start coming up with a different fancy story each time from now on. i think i might start with"rough sex by myself".

rofl! Did they call you Da Jie? = )

Yes, I fully approve of the embellished stories: I've always believed that if someone asks a silly question, they should get a silly answer. Rough sex with yourself is not quite scandalous enough though - throw in a Portugese sailor or something, and watch their eyes goggle. = )
