1) Dear Lady with the toddler,
I know the look you have- that wistful look when you are watching a couple of teenagers talking to each other, while your child is running amok all over the gate. You will get there one day. I promise.
2) Dear dad of teenagers,
You want to be included in the conversation that your children are having. You keep trying and they keep ignoring you. Sigh. You look at the toddler with such longing...Dont worry. Wait till they are in their 20s. All they will want to do is talk to you.
3) Dear old couple holding hands,
I want to be like you one day. Graceful/ yet smart. You are both reading on your kindle /ipad and holding each other's hands. There is a distinct familiarity and a look of content on your faces. I hope we get there some day.
4)Dear mid aged lady in the inappropriate clothes,
Grow up- those clothes are definitely not for you.Wear something appropriate and you will look much more elegant.
5) Dear lady with a cold,
There are kids running around- please close your mouth when you sneeze!
6)Dear guy sitting next to me with you iphone,
I am just people watching- I am NOT interested in reading your stupid work- related emails. I have 100s of those in my inbox !!
7) Dear toddler,
You are beautiful and such a joy-even though your parents may not tell you this enough( I know I don't tell mine enough). You remind me of my own baby waiting for me at home :)
