TweetI was out and about running errands yesterday and as I waited in line, I noticed the woman in front of me had on some fabulous heels. I ooh’d and ahh’d in my mind before tapping her on the shoulder and relaying to her that I liked her heels. Her reply? An eyeroll and a suck teeth head nod. What’s up with that?

Vernon, NY, where I worked at the age of 14 as a teacher’s assistant through the Youth Employment Program. She drove the bus for the center, aptly named “Toddler’s Park” and remembered my face right off. ...
