Only Allowed in Public if in a Bubble
Soumeya and I took some time out of our busy day yesterday to see the Yves Saint Laurent collection at de Young museum and as I looked at the evening gowns and tuxedo suits without any attention to detail, I became very aware of a noxious odor drifting into my nostrils. I turned to Soumeya and demanded to know “Who wears baby powder to a museum!” baby powder being one of the things that will trigger my fragrance allergies. As Soumeya wondered if she was the smelly beast, I turned to see who the offending person might be so as to avoid standing next to him/her throughout the rest of the exhibition. A few feet away there was a baby strapped into a chest harness, completely oblivious to having caused my discomfort. I found this hilarious on two parts because I had prematurely judged the baby as being an asshole, and because what were the chances that it would be an actual baby reeking of baby powder, and not some jerk who put on a bit too much Secret deodorant or used a bit too much Dove bar soap?

Judging a baby is going too far.
