you are kidding, right?

today.  trying on jeans at the gap.  a woman in the room next to me.  i just wish i had captured it on video.  so you could hear.  the sorrow.  the shear sorrow in the woman's voice.  over such a tragedy.  terrible.  really.  just terrible.


sales clerk:  "how are those fitting?"

shopper:  "they are just too big.  i'm drowning in the 2's."

sales clerk:  "oh, ok.  did you try the zeros (yes.  zeros) on?"

woman:  "i have them on now." (opening door) "i am just swimming in these.  swimming."  "what do you think?"

sales clerk:  at a loss for words just mumbled some ohs.  

i couldn't see her. didn't want to see her.  glad i couldn't see her.  a size zero?  swimming on her?  go eat a cookie.  go eat a cookie.

oh.  and by the way.  these jeans.  the boyfriend.  are really cute.
