I wish there were more activities that accomplished something. Not anything dramatic, just simple things, something to complete and produce a tangible result. Like washing dishes, or filling up a gas tank. I wish I could say to someone, "Hey, do you want me to do some math for you?" Or maybe, "I'll trade you fifteen jumping jacks for a popsicle." How wonderful Christmas would be if I could give out five mintues of looking at the consellations. Or algebra. I used to be really good at algebra.
Today at the laundromat I was talking to a three year old boy about his coat and he asked about my glasses so I put them on him. He went to show his mother and she laughed but didn't quite approve. But it's okay, I'm young enough to avoid the suspicion of pedophilia. Another woman yelled at me about something. For a second I thought about crying to make her feel bad. This morning I broke a taillight on my car.
