Passenger

Yesterday when I was walking into the gym, a young girl chased after me quite frantically. When she caught up with me, she yelled, "Ma'am! Ma'am!" I turned around, thinking perhaps I'd dropped my keys or something equally important. "Yes?" I asked. "You've got a ladybug on your shoulder!" she said, wide-eyed and visibly shaken, raising her arm to point at the little red speck on my shirt.


Not sure why, but that encounter stayed with me and made me giggle throughout the evening. When exactly do we lose the courage or the concern for our neighbors to point out a bug on a stranger's shoulder?
