    “Old people” are a little bit suspect to the younger generation.

    Fascinating! I hope this is the start of a story line and not a one-off.

    So, Janis, how does it feel to be an urban legend?

    Good one. I think that among every bunch of kids, in every time and place, there is some adult who is designated the “Boo Radley”. We had several, including one man who was just known as “The HEAD”.

    I did not think Janis looks scary enough to inspire that kind of story.

    Too many video games. Not enough contact with real people.

    Those are some seriously odd-looking children. Like mini-adults.

    I just read an article by a woman who moved to the Philadelphia burbs from the Midwest and was surprised to see the strange looks she got when she said hello to passing strangers.

    Oddly there was an essay recently in our newspaper about all the strangers we pass every day and each look away and no one says hello as we are strangers.

    The person who wrote the essay mentions saying hello to such a stranger years ago (and continuing since) and the stranger and spouse and the writer and spouse were friends for over 2 decades before the other couple moved away.

    In a similar vein, my husband and I park in a local park every weekday and walk through it to the post office to check our po box and mail items. (No parking for the po.) We daily pass the employees there. We have been doing this for 6 years. As we walked by the woman who sits in the outside recreation office I happened to say hello, just because we feel like we know her. She said hello back. As we returned to the car, she stopped us and asked us a question that apparently the park employees had been wondering about – what our relationship was. Yeah, we are asked a lot if we are married or brother and sister. Now we wave and say hello whenever we pass each other. And this is an area where strangers are “stranger danger” even to adults.
