Candor

Art Linkletter made a decent buck off kids saying the darndest things. They’re not the only ones. I have found that childlike candor is part of some cultures so I was not entirely surprised by what occurred today. Part of my regular workout at the gym includes laps on the track that rings the tennis courts. As I was cooling down from my run, one of the tennis instructors approached me. He was short and dark. He smiled and asked if I was a real Hells Angel. I asked why he asked. He indicated my mustache and the bandana I wear to keep the sweat out of my eyes. “No, I’m a pirate.” He smiled more broadly and walked away. That seemed to make him happy.
