Diary Entry 4
Today a woman came into the store, she was a tiny little thing, no bigger than three feet tall, couldn't have weighed more than 50 pounds, though I didn't lift her, mind you. She was needing batten for some bunting she was sewing. Anyway, all the other clerks went their own ways when they saw her coming, so I had to wait on her. Wasn't no problem to speak of, except sometimes, she gave me a funny look on account of I was looking at her a lot. Anyway, it turns out she wasn't with the circus or anything, she was just a small person. You coulda knocked me over with a goose feather, but I had no idea there were such things outside of the circus or the Wizard of Oz. If that don't beat all.
Sometimes small people come in all shapes and sizes. I've seen 'em out there too.
ReplyDeleteI can understand small people coming in all shapes. But sizes? There can't be too many extra large small sizes. But then again, it's all relative, I guess. (As are you. Hey Mr. Bill.)
ReplyDeleteNo, they don't have extra large small people al, that would be silly. They measure 'em kinda like Starbucks does coffee: Wee, Tiny, Little and Puppy sized.
ReplyDeletePuppy sized are the cutest.
There's nothing cute about puppycide. Oh, you said puppy sized. Never mind.
