03/01/24 – Reflective Shiny Building

|

As Audri continued to cry, Val started leading her by the hand out of the building, saying, "they aren't costumes. Come on, i'll show you." They exit out a back door of the Festus Loomp Science Building onto a street full of other Tiths. Audri said "I don't get it. I'm surrounded by people in alien costumes. Where am I?" Val said, "here, look at the reflection in this shiny building." Audri looks at her reflection and said, "and who's that particularly hideous one who's just staring at me with the eyes of a failed underdog?" It finally hits her, and she adds, "um. That's me, isn't it?" Val said, "yes." Resignedly, Audri said "oh."

      Perhaps Audri and Val, who can already comprehend and respond in the spoken language as if it were English, also see the written language as English and we’re seeing the world as they are.
