GIRTH


Yesterday at work, one of my co-workers decided to comment not only on the growing size of my belly, but made this remark "I just love seeing how round your face is getting."
Thank you.

A gal in my ward sent me this story after talking to her about my growing girth...
(This ran in the New York Times on October 4, 1995)

Jennifer Darger of Scarsdale, N.Y. is expecting twins and admits to being
self-conscious about her rapidly expanding size. Recently, she arranged for
a car service to pick her up at her office in Manhattan. She got in and
handed the driver a voucher. He handed it back.

Driver: "Lady, you have to initial for the extra weight."

Ms. Darger, hoping she hadn't heard him correctly: "Pardon?"

Driver: "You have to initial the voucher for the extra weight."

Ms. Darger, somewhat stunned: "You mean you have to charge me extra for my
body size?"

Driver: "The extra WAIT, lady. I've been waiting down here for 10 minutes."

That story is awesome. And your co-worker is a moron (I don't call names very often).

You tell that girl at your work that you are working on your "china doll" face and are going to make millions performing in China. I'm sure your girth and your face look beautiful.

That story is great. and that lady, oh i just love those kind of comments. Like when they tell you you look like your going to just "pop" at 6 months. Or like when my doctor just noticed my weight gain this last month and said, so you're feeling better! Yep, sure am!! I bet you look great, and i hope you are feeling well. so fun your dad came to visit!
