Which Reminds Me

Is there any polite way to tell these little brown Gonzo dikes that I never want to touch them or be touched by them, much less hold hands with them? They are really not so fascinating to me as they seem to imagine from some book written by Lottie Moon or other single woman missionary, what was her name, I saw the book a few years back, always like they are really demonic spirits, not really human. But that would be such a mean thing for me to say and would get me nowhere to even think, no credit for saying it and no credit for not saying it. So what to say. Hmmm...
