Peculiarities of the young

[flewellyn]

Maybe it's just me, but...it seems rather odd to me when, as I come home from work and then being out, and a bunch of kids are playing in the parking lot, said kids all swarm around me and ask to feel my beard.

Perhaps they're just not used to men with facial hair.

At any rate, it's not something I was expecting.

How very, very odd. What's it like to have children swarm around you, wanting to pet your beard? Did you let them?

More than a bit silly, I found. I let them, yes, but that was mostly because...well, have you ever tried to fend off a pack of five year olds?

It doesn't work.
