Dear Diary,
I've often wondered why it is that men howl. The other day (before the big move), I was out walking my dog like I do on any other typical afternoon. I had gradually grown to dislike my particular apartment complex. Lots of bored teenagers hanging around in the parking lot and on balconies. Normally, they stay out of my way, and I stay out of theirs.
So on this particular day, I was walking back toward the lake where I often took my dog, and I hear from the 2nd floor balcony in the building to the right a group of boys start howling and talking about my dog in order to get me to turn around. I ignored them. I'll admit. I'm afraid of those high school boys. And maybe they weren't flirting or trying to get me to go out with them. But I have never understood why guys do that.
It doesn't only happen on balconies, but driving down the road, men hang out their windows and gawk and shout. Do they think I'm going to immediately pull over and ask for their number or even give them mine? Or when I'm running and they honk as they drive by? What is that? How does that help?
Boys, if it works for you then, don't stop I guess. But, help me understand, anyway.
...Wonder bout tomorrow...
