My husband and I used to marvel at the strange friends we had. On the way home from an outing we’d say to each other, “why is everyone we know so different from us?” Our favorite saying became, “All the world is strange* save thee and me, and even thou art a bit strange*.” Then we’d ask ourselves if maybe WE were the ones who were weird. The jury is still out.
It is becoming increasingly evident however, that we must be the weird ones – since in forty years we haven’t met anyone else like us.
*The actual quote used the word “queer” but the quote is from the 1820’s when queer meant strange, odd, etc. It has an entirely different meaning today.
