26.

Miss Taylor gave me Social Situations homework: ride the subway home, observe faces, and figure out the emotions.   

...looks just like you...

The lady across from me is pink and her baby is brown. She might be a kidnapper, but she doesn’t look like a criminal. No gun.

“Hey,” I say. “That baby looks just like you.”

Her eyes get round, then she smiles and says Thank you. I see a tear on her face.

I don’t know what emotion is round eyes, a smile, and a tear, but I didn’t lie. They both have eyes, nose, mouth, hands, feet. Their hands look soft.
