- A red-headed boy insistently tried to get me to take a Ziploc bag full of Cheerios from him. I refused. It was just weird.
- Three young girls talking in fake British accents, claiming to be my friend Byron's sisters. Byron is black. They were all white. They acted a bit like cats.

- She wasn't a total stranger, but it was still unexpected. She reached over and took a big scoop of my applesauce. She didn't ask. Just went for it.
