Re: GM in looklisten's neighborhood

Walking past the local Catholic school this (Friday) afternoon, I noticed a small group of girls, four I think,

Huhhh...

I'd estimate around preteen through early teen, in uniforms that showed off their legs, some with, some without stockings. I don't really know these girls but I pass this area often. (One of the bare-legged girls was in an interesting posture raising one of her legs standing in her short skirt, and I observed her and the group in passing.)

Ok, you got my attention now.

I expected either to be ignored or treated in a guarded or indifferent manner, but I guess they had noticed me around before. So the girls said hi to me, greeted me pleasantly and said that they'd see me later as I left.

This hasn't happened before. Once, when I was coming home carrying an
awkward assortment of things, a group of girls near the school laughed at me with some degree of derision when I dropped one of my bags. I was pleased to have their attention. There was another incident in which some kids made fun of me by the school, I think mainly boys but in the company of girls. I reacted mildly and with some offbeat wit.

I'm glad to see that your former experience was far more pleasureable. Sadly, some kids ignore the lessons in these schools.

My neighborhood seems a warmer place now.

It does indeed.
