I took the subway downtown yesterday during morning rush hour for my annual mammogram. I am not sure which of those two experiences were worse.
All of my body parts were squished on the subway. Just two during the mammogram.
On the subway there was nothing for me to hold onto and nice smiling guy standing next to me said “As you have nothing to hold onto, if you start to tumble just grab my arm.” “Thank-you” I said thinking- Wow – what a gentleman. Then I thought are you trying to pick me up? Then I thought- Are you a creep? I surfed all the way to Bloor deciding life or death I was not going to grab the stranger’s arm.
At the mammogram, stranger named Rosie said “I will be doing your mammogram today.” I said “Rosie, shouldn’t we have coffee first?”
Honestly, I don’t let just anyone grab the sisters.
“The sisters” … love it … the best I’d heard before that was “the girls”
