Stepford Wife: Day 5
So, it's Tuesday and I've been able to take the time to notice the people around me with this whole immersion thing. Do you know what I have seen? People, strangers and friends, are treating me differently since I donned the Surburbia attire. It's like there is something about an ugly cardigan and a string of pearls that suddenly makes people treat you like you're "worth" something. For example, I went to King Soopers and I was looking for something, three employees came up to me and asked if they could help me. I've been going to that King Soopers for five years... I normally have to hunt people down! People that DO know me for me.. oddly enough, are either treating me like they would a stranger, or they are highly amused by it all. There is no in between. Oh! Great example!! At TKD tonight, Randy Shumway was saying something about something, but he said "One slip of my hand and..." Any other day he would have cut his eyes over to me, with weary amusement, but this time he kept talking. I told him "You're killing me, Randy" but it took him a few minutes to process what I was talking about. It's all very strange to me. I feel like people are treating me like a LADY. It's very odd lol.

Can I say that I didn't know you very long before this experient but you are a wonderful friend, great mother and awesome wife (the coffee after the gym sealed it) regardless of how you dress or act...you are a beautiful person inside and out. I was enjoying the breakfast at the games :) I think everyone will be happy to see the unStepford Ayrlee when she returns from her vacation but this different Ayrlee was a treat (or scare depending on age) for everyone who got to see this side of you :)
ReplyDeleteUh oh. I'm beginning to think that she's starting to like this...that's a frightening thought.
