But they’re also thinking that when they’re NOT staring at you.
True.
Yes. I did this as a child until I learned that I was doing it courtesy of an asshole boy who thought I was doing it because I had a crush on him. That taught me to make sure I stare at an object while daydreaming.
From recent empirical testing on my 9mo niece, when she is staring at me in fascination, she is thinking “can I grab his glasses before he gets away, this time?”
The answer, thus far, is “no”, BTW. Other Uncle was not as fast, however.
When very young children stare at me they must be thinking of some good jokes because they always start smiling and laughing.
When my daughter stares at me, I ask and she always says she’s thinking of some random thing she wants to go play.
When I used to stare at my mom, I was thinking she looked like an alien.
“Holy crap! I hope I don’t end up as ugly as HIM!”
At least that’s what they are thinking when they look at me.
Meat, Meat, Meat!
Kill piggy! Kill piggy!
Or possibly
Your lack of faith disturbs me.
And then the kid gets P.Oed, cause he can’t the the TK goin’.
If they stare it’s because they are interested in you.
I know I got to a Bally’s gym where they teach Tae Kwon Do and the little shavers and little girls seem to love me. I finish running at about the same time the class ends and the little kids come up. “Oh make a muscle,” (I have great biceps) and the kids then say “wow.” Then one kid always says “I can beat him up.” Then I got 12 four year old wailing and hitting me.
I remember I was taking care of a kid of a friend of mine. He was like 3 and we got on the bus and a guy got on without a leg. This just blew the kid’s mind. I was like “Don’t stare that’s not polite.” “But Mark that man ain’t got no leg!!!” “How come he ain’t got no leg?” He could not fathom any reason why that man couldn’t have a leg. The guy overheard and said to the kid “Oh I had an accident.”
But even that didn’t satisfy him, for the rest of the day his mind was lost on the man who didn’t have a leg. To him that was simply not possible.
So you can bet if a kid stares at you, he finds something about you facsinating
