"You're pretty," the woman at my counter says to the other woman. "What's your name? Oh, no. I don't need to ask that. It's just that you have a natural beauty, you know."
The other woman offers a hesitant, "thank you."
"Yes, some of us are just born with it," I add, tousling my hair and flashing a grin.
The woman at my counter ignores the joke and continues.
"No, it's just that some of us have to work at it -- go to the gym, eat salad, use makeup."
"I'm not wearing any tonight," my (male) co-worker cracks.
"I could be talking about me," she answers, again with little humor.
The woman at the other counter takes this opportunity to sidle toward the door.
"No, really. You're beautiful," the first woman calls out. "Kudos."
Kudos? Isn't that a granola bar?
I think Granola is naturally beautiful.
