tuesday april 20

today i was buying groceries at the metro while wearing an NYPD t-shirt i'd bought at value village for a couple bucks. before she started checking my items through, the cashier paused and examined the shirt before asking (probably rhetorically): "you're not REALLY police though, right?" i chuckled and said no, and she remarked "i thought you looked a little young!" i was thankful that was the deficiency she had picked out, rather than my hardly policeman-esque physical stature.
