Anjali - But We Don't Know

I asked Anjali.
'So was Mamma happy when she saw you off to school?' (Mamma looked a bit hassled, hence.)
Anjali thought for a moment.
'She looked happy,' she said.

Then she thought some more.
'But we don't know,' she continued. 'Sometimes people are something on the outside and something else on the inside.'

I looked at her.
'Can you sense that?' I asked.
'Yes, we can make out when they are not fully happy inside but they are smiling.'

People can see through. People can feel. We really don't know.
