You betta check yo'self.

We were having a post-dinner drink last night at a Vietnamese bar, out on the street in deck chairs. A cute-as-a-button five year old girl came up to us trying to sell chewing gum to Quentin. Like a five year old girl with her uncle, she was climbing all over Quentin, making eyes at him, trying to beguile him into buying the chewing gum. Quite funny when he said no actually, as she turned on the fiest and kicked a can in the street (Quentin's theory is that she had been watching me be fiesty and thought that was how to get her own way, hahaha: she did have the temperament I had at that age).

Anyway, it made me think... we've met a couple of older guys travelling on their own and it made me sad to hear that they've had to watch themselves whenever it comes to young kids in SE Asia, for fear of a backlash against paedophiles, for whom they meet the profile. That's really unfair for them as the kids are soooo cute, and Quentin and I, being a couple, and under the age of 40 (yeah, Quent's limping in), we will not be looked on with suspicion - and we've had all sorts of fun waving to the kiddies and teasing them and having a laugh.

But, the way of the world I guess.
