nurture v. nature

There is a demographic in Seattle, I note, that does reliably make eye contact with strangers: little kids. Really little kids. Sometimes they stare until they get your attention, and if spoken to, they usually beam. At what point do locals lose this delightful capacity? 4? 5?

You know you're from Seattle when toddlers make you look like a self-centered asshole.
