Convo: Coffee shop downtown.

The other week I was at a coffee shop patio on a busy street downtown doing some work before my one Greek student showed up for a lesson, and this (young) (Asian[-American?]) girl was reading with her legs up in her seat and her iPhone out on her table, which was right next to the barrier dividing the patio area from the sidewalk, when this (middle-aged) (black) woman walking by real fast stopped out of nowhere and began talking to her.

"I love the world we live in too," she was like, "but if you keep that phone out on the table like that, somebody's going to be stealing it."

"Thank you," the girl meekly said, and took the iPhone and put it in her purse, which she had by the legs of her chair.
