One walk involved seeing a little girl and an older man. She was asking lots of questions. Why? this and why? that. They were walking down by a stream. They had dogs. He was getting irritated and mimicked all the "why" questions back at her. I think they were science questions. Eventually she stopped asking. She went down and up a ravine. The dogs were friendly enough but bounded away from her. Would she stop asking questions? Would she find another person to ask who would feel differently? Even though there was no way they could see me, I drew back and hid behind a tree when I watched them.
Another was a stroll through a grocery store. There was a very interesting dance going on between a little girl and her dad. The dad was a really big man and she would jump at him and kind of karate chop at his stomach. He was shopping and he'd hold out an arm and she'd jump up and hit at it and say lots of aggressive stuff, not swearing or anything but ha! I got you! that sort of thing. And he was just calm and shopping throughout. And every once in a while he'd say to her, see what happens when you do that...he moved along and she went along with him, and a lady behind the sample counter is like, hey, who is this! when she comes by with her dad. There was a table with crayons on it or something for kids and she rushes up to it--whats this! what's this! And I kept kind of running into them.
