An old woman in transport for disable was hardly trying to insert a coin to start up the dryer.We, without hesitation offered some help to her. She didn't refuse and passed the coin to us.
"Thanks lovely," she said with a smile. We returned to the bench that we occupied before.
"You must be 16 years old, don't you?" She asked us. This time she looked at us up and down.
"No, we already 20-ish year old," we replied
She was a bit shock by the explanation but continue the conversation, "Awh, you guys are cute," This time I assumed it was because of our height and not-yet-mature face. Lols
"Well, that is how asian looks alike," we giggled a bit. I don't know to feel happy or disappointed of that comments.
"I bet that you already have a boyfriend." It took us some time to figure out what the question was about because Mancunian accent was hardly understood by outsiders. At least by me.
I think that is the mindset of older people that are young people should have couple etc.
Pause. We were trying to arrange our sentences carefully.
"Not really. Not until we are ready to get married." Yeah. Well, that was at least an honest answer, grandma.
She smiled and gave us a nod for that answer.
