I met this old lady at the bus stop yesterday. She was wearing an eye patch, which I thought was pretty stink.
Like being old and hurt in some way is lame cos I hear it takes ages for even little things to heal when you are old.She approached me asking about a bus and I tried to help but I don't know heaps about where the buses go, I asked my bus driver if he was going where she wanted, but to no avail.
But I thought it was cool that she asked for help. Especially cos I didn't actually notice when she asked the first time and I sort of just walked off. Cos I couldn't really hear her and sometimes people just talk to themselves, you know?
...I felt bad about that after, when I realised she had been talking to me. It was pretty cool of her to persist to ask this delinquent teenager for help.
Its scary that one day I'll be old. Its scary to think I could end up with one eye, not knowing what bus to catch and having to rely on some stranger for help.
On the plus side, I found out pensioners get free bus rides.
