 some new words from May 2016
--- "Hello ma'am. Where are you from?" Her kindness makes me pause. I have kept a quick pace on this street where everyone wants to sell something, breezing past dozens of other questions with a smile, a shake of my head no, and quick, "no thank you." Even a short walk is filled with a chorus of: "Anklets ma'am?" "Pants? Best price." "Come in. Just looking!" These constant questions that used to annoy me have become humorous in their relentlessness. This place has a way of wearing down your reactions. Her approach is different. I don't know why I stop, but I do.
