We are staying with some friends who recently moved to Nashville from LA, Roberto and Hope.
Roberto made a great pancake and egg breakfast. The only problem is that my wife and I were supposed to be at the rehearsal brunch at 10:30. The brunch location is a 30 minute drive from their home. We started eating at 9:50.
Roberto was still cooking. I felt so bad, like I was being an opportunist…eating, complimenting his cooking and running out the door before the cook even sat down to eat himself! With every bite I took, I felt worse!
But, it wouldn’t be very polite to not eat the food that he just worked to prepare! I couldn’t win!
Roberto finally sat down and asked my wife is she was going to eat. She replied negatively. He asked her why. I was completely unprepared for her answer…
“I don’t want to make a fat first impression.”
When Roberto asked for a little further clarification, she said, “Well, if I eat now, my dress will be tighter and I will look fat when people first see me.”
You know, it actually makes sense!
