I love watching people.
They fascinate me.
I especially love sitting down having a nice mocha at one of those fancy little cafes you find tucked away inside shopping centres……just watching the singles and couples and families wander by.
Watching what their body language says about them…..and what they think about the person they’re walking with.
The young couple, madly in love, hanging on to each others’ every word as well as various parts of each others’ anatomy! She’s laughing, looking into his eyes…he’s smiling down at her, like she’s the only person within a 4 mile radius. Sigh….how cute. It must be their 3 week and 1 day anniversary soon, I thinks to myself…… Ain’t love grand.
Here comes Mum. Pushing the overloaded trolley full of groceries with the 1 year old baby in the seat who has just reached backwards into the trolley, found the onions and is now proceeding to bite into it with those lovely new chompers that just came through the other day! Yikes! There’ll be tears! Bet he only does that once!! Quite a feat really….pushing a trolley with one hand, the other hand dragging 4 year old, who’s dragging 2 year old, whose yelling their head off because – Lord forbid! – Mum has passed Wendy’s without shelling out half a million bucks for ice creams & hotdogs for everyone. Bummer kiddo. Guess you’ll have to put up with the vegemite sandwich good ol’ Mum packed for you before she left home….. Looking frazzled. Just wants to get the hell out of the shopping centre. Don’t blame you Mum!
Teenage boys….walking behind the teenage girls….trying to impress them with their skylarking. Girls are all busy texting each other. Even though they’re walking right next to each other. Talking face to face is apparently uncool. Ignoring the boys behind them who are desperately trying to get noticed is definitely cool. Very strange generation. Or are they really that much different to when I was that age? Probably not….although I was minus the mobile phones…
Whoops. Here’s trouble in paradise. Her body language says he’s definitely in the doghouse!! Wonder what he’s done? She’s trying her best to lose him in the crowd…..he’s trying his best to make it into the liquor store without her noticing…..lol. Flowers, mate. And chocolates. That’s your best bet. Or go home and vacuum the house – that should work. It would work for me anyway!
They all come in different shapes and sizes, some wobble on high heels, some wear the shoes they were born in, some dress up – some dress down, long hair, short hair, coloured hair, no hair, young, old and middle of the road……let’s face it – People are soooo interesting!!!
Thanks for giving me a peek into your world!
It was fun.
Until next time……
