Now, I love Joy and I think she is quite wonderful, but I don't really understand this. What I am going to describe next is plain ridiculous!
Amir and I went to the mall here and we decided to take Joy with us.
As soon as we entered the mall, people would come up and smile and talk to her. I'm used to this, she is a people magnet.
Then, people started stopping us, blocking our way in order to see her. Alright, she's cute. I know.
At this point, they started coming up to her and pinching and kissing her cheeks. I was somewhat taken aback by this, but thought, 'Ok, as long as she isn't getting fussy. It's a cultural thing, I guess.'
However, THEN, I noticed people taking her picture, as well as having their kids and friends pose with her. All the while she wasn't really smiling, but was acting apathetic to the attention and would stick her tongue out every now and then like a lizard.
If this happens again, Amir and I are considering making Joy shirts and selling them for a nice profit.

I know in Mexico it's wrong to see a baby and NOT touch it. Like.. bad luck to the baby or like you're cursing them. I don't think it's bad luck for them to not take their picture with her. lol. Funny. Maybe one day You'll see Joy's face floating around an Egyptian commercial. :)
