Wardrobe police
I had lunch today after service with a few people, including 10 year-old Josh. He sat beside me.
“Hey, your shirt is too transparent. Why do you want to wear something so transparent?” Josh asked.
“It is NOT TRANSPARENT!” I was shocked that it came from a 10 year-old boy.
“It is,” Josh insisted. “Why do you like to wear something so transparent? You should wear something NOT transparent.”
“IT IS NOT TRANSPARENT.” I almost shouted.
"You like wearing transparent clothes?" Josh asked.
"I don't like wearing transparent clothes. My SHIRT is not transparent." I said as sternly as possible.
I am sure he would sing a different tune 10 years later. Ten years later, he wouldn't mind women wearing transparent clothes.
We both went quiet and went back to our food. I decided to be friendly and break the ice. That was not a good First conversation. With much practice at friendship breaks, I was sure I could handle conversations with 10 year-old Josh. I found out he plays tennis.
“Josh, we should get together one day to play tennis.” I said. “I would like to play with you.”
“How’s your service?” Josh asked.
“Not too bad. I could get most in court.” I said.
“You know, some times people like to exaggerate.” Josh said.
Annoyed, I said: “Yes, I am sure. But I am not an ACS boy with a major ego that is difficult to quell that he has to resort to using exaggeration to keep it inflated.”
I was being a big bully.
Josh’s parents at that moment were trying not to laugh.
"......" Josh said.
“You are such a ACS boy, Josh.” I continued with a little frown.
“yeah…hahaha…..ACS boys like to talk talk talk talk, right?” Josh said and then he laughed.
I went back to my food. I had done my best. I had nothing in common with 10 year-old Josh.
Minutes later….
“You should wear tighter pants.” Josh said. “I can see your panties. They are showing.”
Super annoyed, “Why aren’t eating YOUR LUNCH? What are you doing looking at my pants and not eating your food?”
“Oh,…err….. but you should really wear tighter pants.”
“Hey, your shirt is too transparent. Why do you want to wear something so transparent?” Josh asked.
“It is NOT TRANSPARENT!” I was shocked that it came from a 10 year-old boy.
“It is,” Josh insisted. “Why do you like to wear something so transparent? You should wear something NOT transparent.”

dipstick
something funny always happen. I don't know why. so you should stick with me. ask NP. can I visit your DG?
u do have an affinity wif kids, ever considered yourself as a kindergarten teacher?
huh? you want me to considering teaching kids? are you kidding? I don't think I get along well with Josh.
I think you'll make the kids want to grow up faster, which is the whole point of education.
what have u got against civil servants and acs boys anyway. I read and read and get more n more upsetted.
paddy: are you both a civil servant and an ACS boy? muaahhaaa...poor thing. never mind lar, usually nobody cares about what I think and nobody shd actually.
