toby of the day, 12.13.2007

Today Jon discovered that toby doesn’t like fat drunk men on the muni. Maybe he sees too much of himself in them. He bawled like never before on the way home from day care after a man tried to make him laugh. Then the other muni patrons tried to help, and he just cried more. One woman offered him a ferrero rocher chocolate. But to no avail. In the end, jon and toby got off a stop or two early and suddenly all was well. Perhaps his stranger anxiety has arrived.

In Europe, whenever Michelle or I pass a section of a subway tunnel or a dark alley that some derelict has used as a commode, we comment on the "muni smell". Are you sure it is not the "muni smell" that Toby objects to?
