A kid on the bus made a funny face at me today so I make a funny face back. Were stuck in traffic so we get into a little contest and exchange funny faces for the next while. This kid is not very original, he just keeps pulling the same face. Ive got an arsenal full of funny faces so I pull out my best. Crossed eyes, teeth hanging out, doing my best Stephen Hawkins impression. I gaze around the rest of the bus until I meet eyes with an elderly lady. Her facial expressionwas unexpected... She looks like she has just found out theres been a death in the family and Im the one responsible. I can see the raging storm of anger welling up inside of her. Her beady eyes are so focused on mine, I swear I can feel my pupils searing under the intensity of her glare. I break eye contact and look back at my buddy. At this moment I had an epiphany... A sudden realisation of great truth... The child was never making a funny face at me.... He was disabled. I had to sit behind the bus for another 5 of the most uncomfortable minutes of my life. Im an arsehole!
