Here I am, at the boat.

I'm doing Evangeline's hair. It was frizzed.
And to keep her calm and quiet as I redo things, I'm talking to her. What else should I do? She requested the "bouncy bouncy story", and I was willing, for a change, to oblige her.
Now, in total and perfect fairness, the bouncy bouncy story is the most annoying story I know, especially since you have to whine to tell it right.
But seriously? It's a big ferry terminal, and a lot of empty seats in the middle of the day. I sure would not have sat down right next to me. Can't imagine why Mr. "OMG STOP TALKING" did.
After five minutes of nonstop, rather hypocritical "how annoying and she talks more than the baby and just shut up" and all, I interrupt myself long enough to point out, politely, that it's a big building and if he doesn't want to listen to me talk he can justfuck off sit elsewhere - children present, remember! - not that it made a difference.
At this point, the woman sitting across from both of us decided that he was staring at her. (Or maybe she was just pissed at the way he kept talking to himself about me talking to Evangeline and wanted to cause trouble. I don't know.) So she yelled at him, he yelled at her, she called over a guard and talked all about how "that guy" was bothering her and me (well, he *was* bothering me), and left. Which meant that for the next few minutes until the boat came the weird guy stopped talking about me and instead talked incessantly about her and about, ironically, how unimportant she was to him.
The end result of all this is that Evangeline's hair really kinda stayed a mess. Very annoying. I could've thrown a scrunchy at the guy, except I don't think it really would have helped much.
