March 30, 2002 on 11:14 pm | In Blogger |Davie asked me what I did today. I am going to tell you the same thing I told him: at 11 some kids came over and we did an Econ project (third grade level), then I took a walk at Tohono Chul Park with Grant, then we went to the Easter Vigil Mass at St. Thomas Church. And that was my day.
While taking Grant at Tohono Chul Park, we ran across a young girl of about seven or eight years old in a pink Easter dress. She was very pretty, and looked like a sweet, smart girl. But when she looked in my direction, she started screaming bloody terror. It took me a moment to register that she was screaming at Grant. She kept hiding behind her mother, and her mother finally led her away.
Grant and I went down to a little path that had an exhibit on reptiles, towards her. She was screaming louder, this time a few people turned to see what all the commotion was about. Finally Grant and I decided to head back in the direction we already came from, and her words still echoed across the park: “He’s still there, Mommy! He’s still there!”
Then we came across two old men. They smiled as they saw Grant. “Hi, Pooch,” they said. They turned to me. “Can we pet him?”
“Oh…of course, if you want…”
The men smiled again, and they kneeled over and patted Grant on the head. He looked up at them and licked their hands.
“Aww, he seems like a nice dog…”
And across the way, the young girl was still crying~
