7/Secrets & Lies

We were seated at a pizzeria when a woman at another table pointed to my husband and said to her small son, "See that man over there? He's a policeman, and if you don't eat your pizza he's gonna arrest you." I stood up. "He's not a policeman," I told the boy. "He's a chemical engineer."

    LOL Good one! The longer-than-56-words version is I walked over to their table and said what I wrote, and added, "and no policeman would ever arrest you for not eating something. The police are good guys." Then I went back to my table. The mother never said a word.

    It's probably just the performance genes I inherited. I don't mind public speaking. :-)

    Susan, you are as brave as my inner self. My outer self always edits too much.
