Meeting new people

Carl was always nervous when he met new people. When Carl turned two, his mother sent his picture to the local news station so they could air it with other birthday baby pictures. In this particular picture, Carl was standing completely naked on his booster seat with birthday cake dripping from his face and his left foot in a bowl of ice cream up on the table. This fully exposed his little smokey. Carl never forgave his mother and he never could understand why a nude, full frontal picture would be aired on network television, even if the picture was of an innocent two year old. Every new aquantance Carl made, he couldn't help but wonder if while getting ready for work, or quietly enjoying coffee or raisin bread in the morning, if that person had gotten a glimpse of his baby carrot.
