OK...picture this. I am at my "favorite" store (yea right) Walmart on Sunday late afternoon in My Sunday Church clothes consisting of a n Olive Green sleeveless body contouring long top with a black ankle-length skirt straight cut and my tall black open-toe pumps . And I needed to purchase a bag of birdseed.
So I am standing there looking at this bag that weights 40 pounds sitting on a pallet on the floor. I squat down legs closed and try to pull this sucker up and onto the bottom of my shopping cart.
A woman mid-40's was standing a few feet away and came running over:
Lady: "Sweetie, let me help you with that."
Traci: "Oh Thank you"
(Lady grabs one end and I the other and we get it onto the bottom of the cart.)
Traci: "Thank you so much for helping me."
Lady: "I just don't know why they make these bags so heavy that us women can't lift them."
Traci: "I know, I always have trouble getting these on my cart but thank you again."
Lady: "Your welcome. Enjoy the rest of the evening."
************************************************** ***********
Now I am pushing the cart to my car. Open the trunk, try and pull the bag off the bottom shelf of the grocery cart and it falls on the parking lot.
At that moment, some man comes over and says, "Here let me get that for you miss." (he picks it up like it was a feather and gently places it in mt trunk).
I replied "Thank-you" and gave him a big smile. He smiled back and went on into the store.
The point I am making is that each day I am out and about, I am blending in seamlessly. And I am getting all kinds of courtesies from men every day: doors being held open, yield their cart to mine at the end of isles, or if we are both wanting to reach for something in one of the freezer doors, etc, They always let me go first.
WOW! What have I been missing all my life? I am really getting to like being treated with such courtesies. Not to mention the guys that stair at your boobs or down your top when you bend over. I never realized just how bad men were at staring at women and their body parts. But that is OK as I am enjoying that as well.
What a way the end the week..I real boost to my womanhood!
