Compliments!...keep them coming…they don’t have to be true!
Somebody called me voluptuous today!
Not very difficult to guess that ‘somebody’ was certainly not the husband!
Well, it was a compliment, given by a rather skinny neighbour, in good stead!
Long story cut short, the neighbour
was on the lookout for a quick fix to her blouse predicament, for the evening.
Turns out, she decided to give me the privilege of being the one to lend her ‘the golden blouse’. It really amazes me,
how someone can borrow someone else’s clothes and actually wear them! I mean, I
would think twice before asking my husband to lend his pair of shorts, in the
event of crisis! We are talking of a neighbour here, and for God’s sake we only
exchange pleasantries when we meet in the lift or in the lobby!
Now, the lady in question, wanted a
golden blouse for her saree for the evening. I told her I did have a golden
blouse, which actually I don’t, but you see, I wanted to see how far it could go,
or maybe I just sensed a compliment lingering there. Well anyway, I told her that
I did have a golden blouse, but considering that we were endowed differently
(do i have to admit that I am err…well…maybe…chubby, and did I mention she is
skinny), I didn’t see how it would fit her. To which, the neighbour did a quick
study of my contours, and suddenly found the need to say something to save the
day! And then came the moment of the day for me…”well”…she said…” you are...(pause)...voluptuous!!!, but wouldn’t you have something from your earlier days?”…to which I
had to tell her that ‘voluptuous’ is what I have been for a long time now!
God bless everyone with such neighbours…you see they can make your day!
