‘You’ve got long hair,’ a woman behind me in the food queue says to her little boy, ‘some people say only girls have long hair,’
I look down and the boy stares up at me.
‘You’ve got nice hair,’ I say to him.
He holds up a toy car. ’Guess what this is?’
‘Um, a Porsche?’
‘No,’ he says, ‘Matchbox,’
I ask him if I can hold it.
He hands it over.
The bonnet features chunks of silver plastic sticking out of it.
‘Looks like the Batmobile,’ I say.
‘Well, it isn’t,’ he says, ‘give it back’.
