took the bus for three years when lived in
Honolulu and haven't lived anywhere with even
usable public transit since, but in those three
years had dozens of utterly bizarre experiences
that were also Perfectly Normal. This is because
the human condition is vast and also Very fucking
Weird.
Kid one the bus next to me whose backpack
starts moving and it turns out he's got three
chickens and a painted turtle he caught in there?
This is Perfectly Normal. Humans have been
catching small game and transporting it home in
whatever they had since we invented bags to put
chickens and turtles in.
traded him three king-size snickers bars
had on me for the turtle because vaguely
remembered that many freshwater turtles were
toxic to eat (incorrectly, as it turns out, but this
was when still had a Nokia Brick that lived a
blissful, internet-free existence), and didn't want
him accidentally poisoning his family, but didn't
want to just. Steal his hard-won turtle. This is
Perfectly Normal. Humans have been cautious
about poisons, looking out for strangers kids and
bartering shit since before we were technically
humans, probably.
