Week #97 Very, Very Small
“August is just a
couple of months away. We have to start
getting ready.” The group of friends
nodded agreement.
“Yep, that means
if we meet for coffee, we need to stop getting a doughnut, or coffeecake, or
pie with it. That’s going to be the hardest part for me!” Gayle said as she placed her fork next to the
empty plate. “I just love their
raspberry pies. As much as I want to
lose a few pounds, I need more incentive.”
Judy and Cheryl
exchanged looks. “What did you have in
mind?” They knew full well what Gayle
had up her sleeve.
“Well, since I
have the least amount to lose and will no doubt be the one to keep the rest of
you in line, I just think you should all commit to visiting me this
winter. You know, have a girls vacation
where it’s warm for a change.” She had
picked up her fork and waggled it at the rest.
“Remember the old measurement we used to use? Once
around the wrist, twice around the neck and three times around the waist. That will be our yardstick, so to speak. Whomever can get back to that measurement by
the time our class reunion rolls around, I will pay for your plane ticket.”
“Crap, I don’t
know if I’m going to live long enough to get back to that measurement!” After quickly measuring her wrist and neck, with
casino flourish, Leigh spread her hands and declined measuring her waist.
Rolling her eyes,
Cheryl asked, “So, just how small do we want to get?”
“Very, very small!” simultaneously the rest chimed in.

Wait, wait, wait! I thought once around the waist should equal twice around the neck, and once around the neck should be twice around the wrist. No?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I'm with you on the desire for very, very small!!!!! :O)
You've hooked me - I want to know if they reach it and vacation at her warm place!
