A girl and a baby
What is a pram with a baby doing, outside the shop in Bugis Junction where the teenagers gathered to have their photos taken? A hip mum trying to take a photo with her elder daughter?
I observed discretely afar, sipping my milkshake.
A group of eight teenagers came out from the shop and walked towards the pram. They gathered around the baby. A girl rested her elbow on the handle of the pram and another was playing with the baby.
I tried to decipher and understand the scene right before my eyes. The baby. The girl leaning on the pram. The group of teenagers.
The teenagers are barely 16 year-old. I guess they are only about 14 or 15. The girls in the group giggled like any girls of their age. The boys talked loudly in their half-manly voice. Their behaviour and attire said everything - they are very young indeed. But the girl and the baby? My heart sank.
