Case in point number two:
I'm at my nephews birthday party. Everybody is on the deck outside including me. I am well known among this crowd as "the unmarried guy". So everyone starts moving inside. Except a little girl. I am not going to go inside and leave a small child unattended so I try to talk her into going inside. Instead of going inside she wants to pet the cat which is walking across the grass far away. Luckily she doesn't charge for the cat but instead talks to me about why the cat doesn't want to come over and meet her.
While I'm having this discussion with her. Her father comes charging out. He seems suspicious. 'Why was I talking to his daughter?' -She wants to pet the cat instead of going inside. 'Why didn't I come get him?' -I didn't want to leave a child unattended.
So I guess I'm suspect as a single male in this society. If I was one of them -bringing my tottler along -I wouldn't be suspect. I mean Jeesh -it's not as if I joined the priesthood or something.
