Two young men entered the Chinese restaurant where I was having lunch with my
husband. The first thing I noticed was the black T-shirt one of them wore. On
it was a large, sparkling gold depiction of 2 Pac with his name below his
picture. The next thing I noticed was their jeans.Now...I noticed the jeans because I always think
of how uncomfortable I feel in jeans that are riding loose and low on my hips,
especially when the crotch is nearly to my knees, because it hinders my
movement. Not that this is something that happens much anymore, but it is a
feeling I have dealt with when shopping for jeans back when I wore a size 0.
(Did you know that many size 0's, 2's and 4's are all the same size? Yeah.
They are about a millimeter smaller than a size 6.) My first thought about the
jeans, of course, was the discomfort. My second thought was, "I can't wait
until these go out of fashion." Because everything eventually goes out of
fashion, like turned up collars in the 80's and bell bottoms so long you stepped
on them in the 70's, and crocheted bikinis of the 60's. And we all thank God
for this, don't we? Yes, we do.
After the young men had paid for their buffet lunch, they each, in turn, picked up a plate and fork and approached the buffet bar. (This is a small town, so our Chinese restaurant has a small buffet bar. About the size of a typical Wendy's salad bar. Except with no bacon bits.) As they approached, they were on opposite sides of the bar, directly across from one another. They slowly circled, in unison, the entire bar like 2 dogs getting ready to fight; except when they jumped, one went for the Moo Shoo Pork and the other for General Tsao's Chicken.
For Jeff:
"MY baby ate off MY plate!"
