In some circles it's a form of female bonding, or so it seems. Or perhaps not...
My boss tells me today that she didn't eat the sushi I ordered for her lunch because she's on a diet. (Huh? Sushi seems to be the ideal diet food to me, but I tell myself that perhaps she's avoiding the carbs in the rice). Anyway, after some short diet blabla (during which I confess that my diets consist of not having seconds, and only for about 2 days before I lose the will power even for that) I tell her that she looks great, which is the truth - granted I've never seen her in a bathing suit, but dressed - and she does dress very well - she has a figure most women would envy, honestly.
To which she replies, on her way out the door, "Thanks, but everything is relative".
Now I'm not usually paranoid (but everyone really is out to get me! nah, just kidding) or overly sensitive, but... ouch, no ?
Ah, ignore the silly cow ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a stereotype of all Parisian women being the size of a matchstick and dressed in Chanel.
I know, shouldn't indulge in stereotypes!
