“Hello!” The response comes from a girl of around 13 or 14 in school uniform, and holding a clipboard. Her eyes seem to be fixed on top of her clipboard, as if she’s trying to remember her lines without being distracted. “I’m doing a survey as part of my sociology class at school. Would you mind if I ask you a few questions. She then raises her eyes to look at you.
You had been expecting your sister to arrive home, not some little school girl with a survey, and you don’t think you’re really appropriately dressed to stand on the doorstep answering questions anyway.
“I’m sorry. It’s not really a good time just now. I’m going out in a few minutes… perhaps another time…”
She has a peculiar expression on her face, like you had just offered her an ice cream desert with all the toppings imaginable, and then swiped it away and eaten it yourself.
“Um, it’ll only take a couple of minutes…please!!
“Look, I’m sorry, but I’m not going to stand around with just a towel around my waist answering your questions! Catch me another time…”
“I can come inside if you prefer! I don’t mind! Pl-eee-ease!!!!!”
Grief, you don’t remember ever being this insistent on getting your school projects done when you were younger. Now she’s making you feel guilty about turning her away.
