A quickie, with no pictures...sorry!
During my wife's absence, my cousin and her hubby came to visit for a couple days. I was dressed in shorts and a women's tee top, with my ballet flats. Nothing was said about my outfit, and I took them out for a seafood dinner (what else do you have on the Delmarva?) Waitstaff didn't use any gender-specific forms of address for any of us. That was surprising, as they both are very definitely identifiable as their birth gender. Me, not so much...
We had lunch with mom at the nursing home on their second day...it was fairly uneventful. She sort-of remembers them, but just barely, even though they visited her last time they were in town, a year ago. I was wearing my typical shorts and top outfit, and one of the staffers who doesn't see me often commented "Wow, nice legs hon." Not sure of two things: whether my cousin heard her comment, or whether it was truly a compliment. But I'll be optimistic and presume that the answers are "No" to the first, and "Yes" to the second...
More later...

I would surely consider the comment "Nice Legs" as a compliment. Hopefully if you get to do a Halloween visit she will see you with a skirt, hose and heels and can really repeat the compliment in a way that would be completely positive.

I'm going to view it as a compliment, Pat.
ReplyDeleteThe jury is still out on whether I'll be able to make the Halloween party. Gotta find out when it is...and that won't be known for a while yet.
My calendar is quite full for October, so if I were betting, it would be that I won't make it. Time will tell...

You do have nice legs!

Oh, my...thanks hon, you are so sweet! But they're not as nice as yours...
