Truth vs. Manners

[porphyry]

Well, it's happened.

I was shopping this evening with the children. Andrew observed a young woman in the aisle across from us. She had hair that had been dyed all the colors of the rainbow and multiple facial piercings. He stared at her.

"You look nuts," he said to her.

I was embarrassed. Malkhos was proud.

I like his openness. And he said "look", not "are". That's a very important distinction. I think Malkhos is right to be proud of this. But I'd have liked it much better, if it hadn't been such an obvious "weirdo" kind of person he was being rude to. (I guess young kids tend to affirm conformity.)

Oooooh, he's cruising for a bruising.
