the fattest lady in the building taught her kid to call me 'aunty' today in the lift...the sudden change in my colour from a usual wheatish brown to a sudden flaming red didn't send the message across...as she continued to hammer it down the kid's memory bank...

all i could do was smile at the kid like an idiot all the while chanting an ancient voodoo charm in my head to mutilate the mother...i was convinced that any more time in the lift and the smoke alarm would have gone off!

and as if to console...the conductor in the bus asks in all innocence..."half ticket?"

do you think i am sufficiently qualified to be clinically diagnosed with Schizophrenia?

I totally get you! I was at a video store with my sister, who is four years younger than yours truly. Black man at the counter innocently and flirtatiously asks us..."So who's older"...I coulda snapped his head off!! How about someone asking if you're fourteen and then asking you out for a coffee in the same conversation...!
