A mini play
Scene: Suburban grocery store, bread aisle
Cast: attractive working mom, early 30's
sweet doddering old man, 65
It's 5pm on a weeknight. The woman is still dressed in her work clothes and wearing heels. Her cart contains a few essential items (milk, fruit, fresh vegetables, cold medicine). She is clearly on a quick trip to the store in between work and her evening duties at home. The old man approaches her as she scans the shelves for the last item on her list.
Man: I bet people have been telling you you look like Sarah Palin all day!
Woman: (stunned pause as she tries to hide her shock and disgust) Um, no.
Man: What? Don't you think you're pretty enough to look like her?
Woman: Uh, I guess not. But thank you.
He moves on and she continues on her errand, all the while contemplating how she can change her appearance so as to NEVER repeat that scenario.
THE END
Yeah, the woman is me and this happened to me last night. I got home and begged the wee to cut off my hair. She tried to reassure me by telling me that he really thought I looked like Tina Fey.
