There’s a old hispanic guy who works in my building, and during the daytime whenever I see him I usually do the head nod or “good morning.” But his face is usually an impenetrable poker face that doesn’t say much more than “I acknowledge your presence.” When he’s not working he’s usually hanging out with his friends outside of a bodega where they sit around and drink beers. In those scenarios when we walk past him, Anna will wave and he’ll say “Hiiiii!” and give a big wave back. It’s funny and kind of cute in an old man sort of way.
