An old man walks past. Pauses. Sees I’m reading a Kindle. He lectures me in German.

‘I don’t speak German,’ I explain, exhausting what little German I do speak.

He starts over, in English. Explains it’s not the same as a book (duh), not reading (wha?). Walks on.

Never thought I’d be reprimanded for reading.
