I have the propensity to scare children.
For a few months I was walking around Mhaswad wondering why so many kids were crying. Then, after unknowingly scaring my colleague’s niece, she explained that many children are frightened of me. Yesterday I played with one of the kids that lives on the compound; today she was screaming and crying just because I looked at her. The adults all think it’s hilarious—forcing their kids to shake my hand, telling them to look at me, pointing me out if I happen to stroll by.
I have to admit, I think it’s pretty funny too.
I guess I just look too damn different.

I always told you that you looked freakishly scary...I totally know where the kids are coming from.
hahah just kidding. Don't be too sad Suz-you look quite normal to me! ;)
And I suppose you should just be glad that they would rather stay away from you than be hanging all over you or touching you...right?
