I get funny looks but, I just smile because no explanation outside of nut is open to their befuddled Western thinking.
Honestly, I'd look at you weird, too. Unless I knew you, then I'd look...with you.
Joking aside, and to adopt a current phrase of the day, "you do you." That's the entire point of our relationship with creation as a living that bears the mark of the Creator. My weird is your normal, and vice versa.
There's a few things this ridiculous world can't take away from us, and this is one of them.
