one of the women brought their child back with them after lunch - she took a single look at me and let out the loudest bawling scream i've ever heard. my driver has told me that it's pretty common to tell children to go to sleep or else the white folks will come and kidnap them... she sat outside the warehouse alone for the next half an hour until i suppose the threat of me was outweighed by her need for her mama.

but even being petrified of me, look how sassy she is! you have to be tough to pull off a hair cut like that.
