another simple joy in my life

 people notice something I'm wearing or holding and say, "is that new?"

And then I say,

"HA! New to YOU!"

It's a pretty needlessly rude thing to say to someone who's just trying to make a friendly observation but I like to imagine that I have all sorts of esoteric knowledge and wisdom that I've known for years and is only just now apparent to wide-eyed green-horned first-rodeo individuals.

Maybe don't do this one. It never gets a laugh or a good reaction.

I will keep doing it though.
