My wife hosted a dinner party for all our friends,
some of whom we hadn't seen for ages and everyone was encouraged to
bring their children along as well.
All throughout dinner my wife's best friend's four-year-old daughter
stared at me as I sat opposite her.
The girl could hardly eat her food for staring.
I checked my shirt for spots, felt my face for food, and patted my hair
in place,
but nothing stopped her from staring at me.
I tried my best to just ignore her, but finally it was too much for me.
I asked her,
"Why are you staring at me?"
Everyone at the table had noticed her behaviour,
and the table went quiet for her response.
The little girl said,
"I'm just waiting to see how you drink like a fish...”
