cultural differences

I have been a little surprised to hear what the kids have to say about my moped. They all think it is cool; some of them think it goes a little slowly but that's the worst they can say about it. Then there are a lot of older kids (boys, mostly) who think it's strange for me to drive it. They know I am married and say my husband should drive it and let me have the car. I don't think they understand that I don't want a car, or that the moped is more or less mine. It's nice that they're worried about my safety, but it makes me think about how they view women in the Hispanic culture.

Just something to think about.

It'd be even more amusing if you drove a Harley. I wonder what they'd think then!
