I think I am racking up odd conversations to be had this week. Let's call this next conversationalist (a patient of mine) Liz Taylor as I kind of see it fit.0 comments
Liz Taylor: I was thinking about you just before I was falling asleep and that scarf you wore Tuesday just wont do.
Me: Excuse me?
Apparently this is my reaction to all things odd
Liz Taylor: Yeah, the way you were wearing that scarf wasn't good for you.
Damnit! I think to myself. I was so proud of that outfit and thought the scarf was an awesome touch. Even Lauren okayed it.
Me: Let me get this right, Liz Taylor. You are thinking about my fashion habits before sleep?
Liz Taylor: It smooshed your face.
Me: The scarf?
Liz Taylor: Here, let me show you.
Magically, Liz Taylor pulls a scarf from her sleeve. It's colors and print match that of a 70 year old woman on a cruise ship as opposed to my recently purchased modern Gap scarf but the length of the scarf, she points out, is uncannily similar. I am still stunned, waiting for pigeons or rabbits to also fly out of her sleeve, when I realize her scarf is around my neck and this five foot woman with half a head of wavy hair is ferociously either trying to hang me or give my fashion sense one ounce of dignity.
Liz Taylor: The slip not. It's decided. Liz Taylor steps back and admires her work. Next time you wear a scarf, Honey, it's gotta be the slip knot. Otherwise we lose your entire face.
Thank God I wont ever lose my face again.
Happy Thanksgiving & mashed potatoes!!
