FACES 6

Sugar Land TX

Frightened Faces
I saw these two sisters (twins?) trying to load a huge bag of rice into their car.
I offered to help and asked for a photo, but like most elderly here in Sugar Land, they don't speak English.
They didn't understand my bad attempt at Chinese. I frightened them, even though I'm an older woman and carrying a camera
(which I don't see as threatening, but they did)
To see another photo of these lovely sisters, go here http://www.pbase.com/lynnh/image/133046311

I agree with Stephanie! They didn't slug you with the rice? Great candid!

Good story - poor ladies - they've now gone home telling the story of this "older woman" who tried to steal their bag of rice and who also took their photo too. :) :)

Poor ladies! No more harassing grannies Lynn... ;-)

So if I understand correctly, you scared these 2 little old ladies half out of their minds and then shot them anyway?
Good one Lynn! ;)
