Picking up from Karen’s thread of “fool the natives”
I had my appointment for my facial, pedicure and manicure today. ( 3 and a half lovely hours) . So here I am sitting at the nail dryer letting my fingers ‘finish off” and an elderly couple walk in. Hubby is helping her. They were a “walk in” so she could get her hair cut and styled a bit shorter than what she presently had. The reason she wanted it shorter was the fact that she was somewhat blind and had a difficult time combing it, and “he” was all thumbs when it came to something like that. L… , the owner told the lady she’d be happy to do what she could to help her.
“Pa Kettle” takes a seat and “Ma” finds her way to the chair. L… begins to do her thing to the hair, which really wasn’t that long. I had kinda glanced over to them once and went back to watching the world go by from my seat by the window at the dryer.
Now, I should say that I was not dressed in a skirt, ( bad form when getting a pedicure ) nor did I have my wig on. Simply had my hair in a pony tail, light red clip on earrings, along with my ladies plaid shirt and girl jeans, still wearing my flip flops while letting my toes fully dry, and legs crossed, in a delicate fashion.
Didn’t hear exactly what “Ma Kettle” said , but I did hear L… say, “…Yes, he’s one of our good regular customers.”
Besides “Paw”, I knew I was the only other “HE” in there. If one had looked carefully at that moment they would have seen my hat size grow by 4 units. Didn’t acknowledge that I’d heard anything, but simply continued to sit looking out the window. Tried to look out of the corner of my eye to see if “Paw” was checking me out, but without looking directly at him, it was hard to tell.
After my nails dried, L… called me over to the chair for my eyebrow waxing. It was then that I asked her if I thought I’d figured correctly about what was said. L… confirmed my thoughts. Believe me I tipped rather generously today in thanks for the compliment
