androfagcub and I are selling a few things at home on Craigslist, ya know, the usual; coffee table, set of chairs, candle holders etc...
This man came over tonight, he was about, oh, conservative estimate, 75 years old. He decided not to buy the table because it was too heavy. I offered to help him load it into his car. He replied:
" Oh no, you're expecting" looking down at my tummy.
I replied: " Nope, i'm just fat!"
He thanked me for my time and appologized for not taking the table.
About 10 years ago, I used to get that comment a lot and I would be genuinly upset. Today, I just laughed it off, used the word fat like some would say the color red or the ham is good or its raining today.
I like myelf a lot right now.
