Saw an interesting interaction on the train today. When I transfered onto the local train, at the turnstiles there were two young men, maybe 14 years old. They were having some problem with their farecards (or perhaps didn't have them.). A train employee, an older man was there assisting them. As I walked up, I heard the employee say "if you can tell me the square root of 64, I'll let you through." The young men conferred conspiratorially and correctly announced 8 and were let through.
I liked that the employee was both kind and encouraging. I liked that these young men could answer a math problem. Sometimes the world is good.
