Is being normal really so overrated?

"I'd tell you if I knew anyone normal." Rory shrugged.

"You don't know one normal person?" That has Lenka frowning. "How do you know they're not normal, though?"

"The question isn't whether I know a normal person." Rory shrugged. "It's whether I know them well enough to know how they aren't normal. No one I've known well has ever turned out to be normal, although some appear so."

"I see. Appearances deceive, then." She tilted her head. "Do I appear normal?"

"Normal for what?" Rory shrugged. "You certainly don't look odd for New York or London. You'd stick out like a sore thumb in Beijing or Salt Lake City."

"Just... normal, I guess." Human, is what she really meant. She smiled though. "It's a good thing I don't plan to go to Beijing any time soon then."

"Then you appear within normal range. But as I say, normal range is a lot wider than most people think it is." Rory shrugged.

"I suppose you're right. I just don't really know what normal is, you know? Or why everyone seems so against being labeled as normal." Lenka echoed his shrug. "Sorry, I'm thinking out loud."
