Woman one: "I saw you dancing the other day."
Woman two: "Oh, yeah, that was really fun."
Woman one: "Was that your son you were dancing with?"
Woman two: Pauses. "No, that was my husband."
Woman one: Does not miss a beat. "Oh, he looks so young."
Woman two: Through clenched teeth: "Thank you."
I was in another stall and listened quietly to this conversation. I couldn't identify the people talking by the their voices, so they must have been from another department. (I'm fairly certain it wasn't Linda Hogan, whose boyfriend actually does look like her son.)
But, damn, is that cold or what? That's a hundred times worse than the "you look tired" comment that people bandy about like looking tired isn't synonymous with looking like shit on a shoe. If someone said that Aaron looked like my son, I think I'd need a hefty dose of therapy and some serious plastic surgery to get over it. Ouch!

haha! I guess I should start hanging out more with the college boys. She should have said to her co-worker -"jealous much?"
or "Yes, he keeps me up all night, what's your excuse?" okay I'll stop now.
yeah, i have a co-worker who pulls that "you look tired today" just to tick me off.
Sylvia - she needed you there for the quick comeback!
Ptoxy - What an annoying co-worker! The only thing worse that "you look tired" is "you look sick". That's my other pet peeve!
