What is Normal?

Conversation between Kevin and Cami, driving in the car one evening:

Kevin: There’s the crazy guy.
Cami: He doesn’t have any pants on tonight.
Kevin: Well, it is hot today.
Cami: Yup, that’s true

Cami: Did we just think that was a normal conversation?


Yes, we have given him clothes before, but sometimes he doesn’t wear them. Sometimes we just take for granted things here that would be totally off-the-wall if we lived in America! This conversation was about a mentally ill man who lives in town – there are a few people like this around town, and sometimes you do see totally naked people walking down the street. Likely they need medications, but that type of thing isn’t very available here. They are still doing shock therapy at the mental hospital to “cure” people. Sad.
