While walking across campus today, a little girl came up to me (she was part of an elementary field trip, not wandering aimlessly, no worries). In the midst of a huge crowd, she looked up at me, smiled, and asked in an almost pleading manner, "Excuse me, do you like tarantulas?" I told her yes, walked a little further, and then realized... no, I do not like tarantulas. That is, I'm not a big fan of spiders, but I don't have a problem with them. I'm not arachnophobic or anything.... but she probably could have asked if I liked nuclear warfare, A.I.D.S., cancer, or abortion in that same pleading tone and expression, and I would have said yes. That seems problematic.
Yes. Small children could ask Kellie for anything and she would succumb.
ReplyDeleteIt's good the government hasn't heard about this yet. You'd be the newest scapegoat. They'd just have a little child ask if you were responsible and of course you would tell them so.
Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. Unless the government would pay for such a scapegoat...
