Keri and I went to Two Tarts bakery a couple weekends ago and I started to write about something funny that happened and it turned into something else, but I didn't want to miss out on sharing the original story, so here it is.
So, as I mentioned before they give you 13 cookies when you order a dozen (I think that is awesome) and we had picked out the ones we wanted and it was time for them to ask if we wanted a ribbon tied around the box. Before the cookie clerk could even utter the words, I asked what other colors of ribbon were available. They precut a bunch off one spool and have it handy, right by the cookie case. Not to say that the ribbon that was available was ugly, in fact I really liked it, I just wanted to know what the options were.
The cookie clerk was over by the ribbon holding out some options and I concluded that the pretty pink one that was precut was perfect. I said thank you, but this one here is just fine, in fact, pink is my favorite color.
The clerk gave me a quick once over and said, I wouldn't have guessed that, because you're not wearing ANY pink. I reached in my pocket and showed her my pink phone case, See? She replied, yes, I guess if you're willing to commit to a pink phone case, you must like pink. I said, Yeah, I'm going through a transition.
She paused awkwardly and said, Oh,...I see.
Keri quickly chimed in, Yeah, she used to be a dude!
We just busted out laughing!!! The cookie clerk said, Well I have known quite a few people in transition that are way prettier than me. I quickly corrected Keri with a smile and said, No, I'm just transitioning into being more girlie. Cookie clerk laughed along with us. It was funny.
Perhaps using the phrase "I'm in transition" is not the best choice in this day and age :).
