can't find a title for it

you are NOT the center of the universe.

The world does NOT revolve around you.

remember that, denise.

i was having brunch with my parents today. and then we heard crying, like a child making a big fuss when he/she doesn't get what he/she wants. i was looking around to find the bratty kid but weirdly, i didn't see any. It was only after the second glance that i realised the source was an tiny old woman. she was crying and crying and crying. and the equally old man beside her, was trying to coax her to get a move on and cross the road. i don't know what happened but i think she's mentally challenged.



anyway, the man with her was really trying his best to calm her down. alternating his hugs with encouraging words, and when he got a bit impatient, scolding her a bit. i think she cried and yelled for 10 minutes before calming down and managed to cross the road. her companion then gave her a hug and patted her. they continued on their journey.



we, the passerbys can only look and sympathise with them. but this man, he has to put up with her everyday. he's so old, and he needs the help of a cane to walk, and yet, he has a big responsibility. it's a thankless job, but still, someone has to do it.
