The things kids do.

After I jumped off the bus on my way home from work yesterday, I stumbled into an interesting scene.

Outside the newly constructed Food World (grocery store) near my apartment, a couple of 8 year old uniformed school boys were milling about the sandy parking lot. With huge grins, they playfully bounced about the parked motorcycles and shouted Kannada phrases to each other-- which I'm sure would translate into something like "Power Rangers: ninja force is better than Power Rangers: space force!" or "Let's play at Vijaya's house later!"

As I usually have an aversion to the largely obnoxious, ill-behaved children between the ages of 0-17, I was a little surprised when found myself pleasantly enjoying their lack of ritalin.

That is, until after they switched into english banter and began arguing who's new Ipod nano was better. Somehow, they resolved this by simultaneously taking a collective pee right in front of me. As in so close to me, I felt droplets of back-splatter.

I froze in horror, trying to quickly process this scene- Shameless Consumerism? Shameless Urination?

I may not have a Ipod Nano, but I have sufficient social manners. Gross!
