Lately I have been struck by how much of a people watcher I am.....I could sit at the U-Bahn for hours just to watch people if my other half didn't object (and he does.). I don't always love what I see, but it just constantly reminds of how different we all are. From the women dressed up in the jeans and high heels to the woman with several colors of the rainbow in her hair. I love watching moms with their kids -- unless they are bad moms which I see as well. And of course the older couples that are just seem so content to move slowly and hold hands as they go. The high-school age kids that always seem to forget what an inside voice means and the old women who sit and glare at them. There are just so many people who make of this world and I blessed to be able to observe them (even if it drives my hubby mad.) :-)
My favorite people watching story happened when I was in high school and visiting my grandma. We had gone to the mall and after a couple of hours of shopping just sat on a bench to rest. My grandmother is also a watcher and we sat for over an hour criticing everyones clothes as they walked past.....to our embarrassment an older man who was sitting behind us got up and walked in front of us and asked us to please let him know what was wrong with his outfit that day. Ha! Caught in the act!
