I woke up this morning with a nagging feeling in my stomach, something was off, and then it all came rushing back to me. Could it have just been a dream I wondered briefly... and then my mind played it through like a movie. This wasn't a nightmare - this actually happened.
The scene:
(how anonymous can I make this?)
The apartment of a couple we are fairly good friends with - an intimate dinner party (6 of us total)
Within a minute of cracking open a bottle of bubbly upon our arrival - the gentleman belonging to the other invited couple gave me a compliment. It went something like this...
Guy: "you've lost a lot of weight"
Me: "ummmm... I don't think so"
Dan: (stares on in absolute horror)
Guy: "maybe I am remembering you wrong, but you used to be much bigger"
*we have indeed crossed paths and chatted at other parties many times
Dan: "no, my wife has always looked this way"
Me: "well, maybe I have lost a pound or two"
Guy: "you look better - it is a compliment"
Dan: (stares on in absolute horror)
Me: (stares on in absolute horror)
Guy: "well, at least you lost weight in your face"
And then we were seated and dinner was served. Can't say this little exchange did much for my appetite!
