I get questioning looks all the time from the bus drivers (not the ones who look at me like I just farted out of my mouth - they just don't know what to do), passengers and clerks alike -- that "you ain't from around here, are ya?" kind of look that amuses more than annoys me.

I love to take early morning walks through Little Italy and when the store owners sweeping their patios say hi, I always get suspicious ( I can't help it!) before I reply back... Then I giggle to myself at my assimilation into Toronto's screwface ways. Esteban Agosto Reid sums it up nicely!
