Oh, the People You'll Meet

I had a strange conversation with a lady at the park today. I talked to her and she talked to Bailey. Not once did she acknowledge my existence.

Me: Good Morning!

Lady: My, you are soooooo big!

Me: Excuse me?

Lady: Look at that lovely coat!

Me: [looking down at my tatty polar fleece]. Um, well, thank you.

Lady: It looks like you just went for a swim. What fuuun!

Me: Oh! You mean Bailey!! Yeah. He had a great time. Chased a few ducks around. Well, we'd better be going, have a nice day.

Lady: So long, sweetie!

Me: Um, yeah. bye.

A little eye contact would have been nice. Or a hello. Bailey, on the other hand, loved every minute of it.
