A while back I speculate that kids are cute because they say things that you don't expect. I mean, I speculate that is why people find them cuter than puppies/kittens. The speculation came from talking to my prev. supervisor. I asked if he was having fun with his new born grand daughter, he said new borns mostly eat and sleep, and in the first year they are more like pets, the fun doesn't start until they can interact with you.

I was at the bus station today. Since bus service in this city is pure crap, when I got to the station, I asked the guy standing there if #19 had gone by. "No.. but I was taking a leak, so I could have missed it."

The logical follow-up question was to ask where he took a leak, so I can:
1. find out if I can potentially be standing on pee
2. estimate how long he took his eye off the road

But it felt too personal, even though he was the one who brough it up. So instead I casually asked how long he's been there and walked out of the booth.

So the moral of the story is that I am no longer sure if hearing things you don't expect can be perceived as cute... and don't talk to strangers.
