leading

Now that i think about it, i'm not so in love with the phrase 'the blind leading the blind.' It implies that the blind have a problem with leading, when it's merely 'difference' in leading techniques, which is the reason i won't be quick to teach a student about this adage, despite its indelible niche in the mind. This phrase popped in my head as i let out a snicker [or 'snigger' as the Brits say - another uncomfortable word to mutter], when walking out of the supermarket with a new friend. My bodily reaction came after noticing that the women at the checkout counter were watching [ditum en, like a film] our leave.

I had been giving some tips about dairy products, and noticed a clerk noticing us, the explanation. The neighborhood store staff, may at least know me as the nonArmenian who does the typical 'no bag please' in a funny accent, and in general not so talkative of a person. What type of advice is this person giving the other?  What mistakes are being passed on, only to be repeated and contorted to an unidentifiable something  8 persons later. - worst. game. of. Telephone. ever. -  nah, it's not too bad, but could entertainingly be. *group snicker*

Let it be known that I have been corrected by a Hayastantsi [person born in Armenia] friend in the past when my 'advice/tips' to a traveler did not coincide with what had been formulated in their indigenous head. immigrant vs. native experience. beautiful stuff.

eager to see what the presidential election        results will do for the economy/foreign affairs. just sayin'.
