Alex loves her skull gloves. Sometimes when it's cold she wears them to sleep. This is her second pair. Wait no maybe it's her third. The point is that she wears them all the time. She puts them through the wash about once a month so the white stripes will stay clean.
Today we went into the city and standing in CVS (to PAY for stuff) when I realized the people behind us were not only tourists but tourists that were talking about us. About Alex. About her gloves.
Those are so offensive! So inappropriate! And for a CHILD! Who do you think bought them for her? What kind of parents allow a young girl to wear skulls? And on and on and on. I turned around to look and it was two women wearing Christmas sweaters. I rest my case.
Of course I glared at them before turning back and pretending to ignore them. Alex heard them and told the tourists she doesn't have parents. They rolled their eyes at her and made noise about how of course the types of children who would wear skulls would also lie. How horrified our parents would be if they knew she was denying their existence.
Dear Lame Tourists,
I'm sorry your life is so boring and magazine-perfect. I'm sorry you are not able to break out of your simple little life and realize not everyone has parents. Not everyone is offended by skulls. I'm sorry you forgot you are in New York City, where people do much more offensive things than wearing skulls on gloves.
You are stupid assholes,
Love,
Sam

I think the gloves are cute. There are uptight people no matter where you go. What matters is that we are each happy with who we are. And if we aren't, that we do whatever we can to change who we are so we CAN be happy with ourselves.
I second your letter to the ditzy tourists!!! People need to simply mind their own business when it comes to the simple stuff. You do know that these 2 Christmas sweater wearing tourists would look the other way if there was a REAL need.....
Doncha just love what Lara said, I second that, screw the idiot sweater wearing tourists!
Those words are so offensive! So inappropriate! And for ADULTS! Who do you think taught them manners? What kind of women allow a young girl to witness such behavior?
