A Nice Set

When I was at Starbucks this morning the barista goes, "I keep meaning to tell you, I think you have a nice set of..."

And then she hesitated.

And then I thought, Is she going to compliment my rack?

"...hair," she finally said. "I really like it."

Thank you, barista. I have a nice rack, too.

karengberger said...: A "set?" Perhaps she is French; they tend to refer to hair in the plural (les cheveux). Or maybe she just has pretensions...or was indeed going to talk about your breasts, but quickly thought again. Are you going back there tomorrow to find out more?; 7/14/2009 4:59 PM
Lesli said...: I would have thought ... set of teeth? Set of boobs? But set of hair? Huh.; 7/14/2009 6:47 PM

Kim said...: What about a nice set of legs? I mean, that would make sense with the new workouts you've been doing, right? =)

Although I agree...hair was definitely awkward.; 7/15/2009 12:52 PM
