This Is This

I am not a chatty person in the mornings, but people think I am. Today I got off the bus this morning and start walking down to work when this guy who gets off the same stop says:

Him: Wonder why all this is?
Me: What’s that?
Him (gestures to traffic): This.
Me: Dunno.
Him: Could be that the kids are back from Easter holidays.
Me: Could be.

I walk on in the same direction, wondering if the conversation has ended. I consider if it would be rude to put my sunglasses on. I’m walking east into the rising morning sun and my eyes are hyper sensitive to light, so I squint alot and have wrinkles around my eyes.

Him (gestures towards shop): Well, I’m going to get my eggroll.
Me: Bye.
