I don't feel I'm all that dismissive of children's words, but one thing I do think is cool about kids is that you're allowed to stare at them as much as you want without it being a social faux pas, as long as their parents don't notice you've been staring at them for the past 10 minutes. Another trick you can use, if you want to stare at someone unashamedly, is to look directly past them and wait for them to try and meet your eyes. When they fail to do that, they'll look around (usually nervously for a second), and then won't look at you again for some time. This is your chance to straight up stare at this person for at least 45 seconds. |
