standard You take your newborn. After a long wait comes the bus must drive you home. As he climbs, passengers look at him with that look of solidarity and affection that wake the babies. While they look at you with his eyes seeking the seat-arms is tired and afraid of falling- but can not find at first sight. decides to stand on one side of the aisle to go and bother less and safer. A passenger saw the sleeping child's face and his face somewhat tired, we decided to ask the lady in the chair is designed for these cases, if you can stop to let it sit. The lady in question, in his fifties, is careful with his dress, high heels takes seems to me, more than recommended, which combines perfectly with his pants and glasses. He looks a little tired and you can understand, because your feet leads purchases of designer clothes has done during the day. When a passenger asks if he can give place for you to sit with your baby and to rest, but above all, to be more secure, the lady with the voice necessary for the entire bus can hear you say that "No . I'm tired and do not want to stand. If you give me the child and I'll take it, but I do not stop. " Silence takes over the bus and when asked why does she, in a conscious and almost rehearsed gesture, gives an argument that made the silence was bigger "because as it happens to stop me, perhaps when climbing children give me the job ?"... "Ie you do not" replied the passenger, because children do not do ?"... "Yeah, so what!". Given this response, silence disappears and all who heard the reasons for the lady, do not do more than recrimination. She, immutable, look out the window . The type of comments and the tone was varied. As you are tired and afraid that the noise wakes her son, does the same as the lady is silent and looks out the window. But it can not help but see the eyes of others. When I look at you, feel the solidarity and lack of understanding of the arguments of the woman. But when they look at her, clearly sees the looks of disapproval of his attitude, even almost with contempt. Looks like a pendulum, they look you and look at it. That if all this exchange of looks, you are still standing, the child is about to wake up and people are comfortably seated in front of you, do not stop to comment including what you just saw, and even let you know you, with their eyes and a slight nod, "is the height to happen."
While all this happens, the bus has run its course. You arrive at your stop without being seated with a child between asleep and awake. is lowered with a heart full of caring glances to his situation and with tired legs from standing. People who were seated, they are heading not stop looking and express solidarity so just live. You feel that solidarity is sincere, who are with you and disapprove the attitude of the lady, however, as often happens, what you needed was not solidarity of looks, you need something much simpler. A chair to be safer.
On reaching the house, thinking that perhaps the sincerity of the woman who refused to stand is much more transparent than the eyes of others. And you get scared. The respected for his sincerity, and you can even admire her for speaking out so openly, but do not want to be like her. Http://lasmiradasperdidas.blogspot.com
