This was a few years ago. I was shopping at an outlet mall with my brother, tried on a sweater, didn't like it, so I went to put it back.

Rather than just toss it on the display I meticulously folded it back to form. I mis have been really engaged, because this lady walks over and asks me the titular question.

I said, "I dunno, over there I think" and nodded to the other end of the store and kept folding. She continued to stand there, so I looked back at her and her jaw had dropped, and was staring at me. I was confused too and thought maybe there was a spider in my hair or something.

We both made the realization at the same time and both our faces simultaneously changed to a chuckle. She walked away still laughing.

My brother, having saw the whole thing, told me, "well, you *do* look like you work here"

You're skipping along in the courtyard one day, happy that you don't have the plague. Mom and dad want to talk to you. Is this because you're about to become a bully to your cousin? Nope...

"Male Seven... we're sending you away"

"To summer camp?? Yesss!"

They share a look.

"No honey...you're going to Nyitra"

"Nyitra? Is that a summer camp?"

"No it's a county in...well, it doesn't matter"

"Oh...who else is going?"

"Just you. And your attendant whom we've all never really seen but assume he's there"

"Eww he stinks!"

"Lol"

"Do they speak our language at least?"

"Heh. Nah"

"Well will I at least be safe??"

"Of course! Unless...well nevermind"

"Unless what?"

"If a war breaks out, yeah you're...you're dead"

"WHAT!?"

"Yeah I mean...how it goes sometimes, eh"

"Well can I come back?"

"Sure!...in about eight years"

"EIGHT YEARS!?"

"It'll fly by"

"How will I make friends?"

"Dunno, kid"

"But-"

"See ya!"

Shit gives me nightmares man.
