Leaving a work appointment the other day, I stepped out of an office into a hallway while buttoning my coat. There was an elderly woman with a walker slowly making her way toward me. I stopped, thinking she might be entering the office I just left and I would hold the door for her. She got closer to me, stopped, looked me in the face and said:
"PUT A HAT ON! IT'S COLD OUT THERE!"
I laughed as she shuffled past me, only to hear:
"PEOPLE ARE SO VAIN THESE DAYS!"
Well she told me, didn't she?? The funny thing is, she is right. That's exactly why I don't wear a hat, it will mess up my hair. Me thinks she spoke from experience and now she just doesn't give a damn. What freedom!
HA! That's awesome! What a great scene.
ReplyDeleteThat's all I could do - laugh!
DeleteWhat freedom, I like that....I mean when you think of it we are always setting out to impress who....Jack Frost, lol
ReplyDeleteDo you know Jack Frost?
I know Jack Frost very well - he nips at ears when I refuse to wear a hat!
DeleteMy Mother used to say things like that. When I was going out for the night she told me to make sure I wore a raincoat. Some nights there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
ReplyDeleteI would say that's a bit off topic ..
DeleteNope. I am not that vain. I wear hats - it is too cold sometimes for people with short hair...like me!
ReplyDeleteYou're a braver woman than I Pearl!
DeleteMy hair is too thin, it gets flat in a second. Only time I wear at hat is when I'm outside and don't have to be seen after I take the hat off!
