Overheard

Old Lady sitting directly behind me in the lounge:
"I think you're right. I think they are mother and daughter."
(Me: She can't be talking about us.)
"The two ladies sitting behind you."
(Me: Well, Ranjana's not here...but they are old, so...)
"I think they must be from India or something."
Note: Save the two older asian ladies, every single person on the boat is W-H-I-T-E.
(Me: Wow. They are talking about us. That's incredible.)

That was the second person that day that thought we might be mother and daughter. Everyone else thinks we're "kids". Can't tell who is older. Our presence on the cruise has really troubled some people. Many people have just had to know what we were doing on this trip with all these, as most of them refer to themselves, "old people".
