I have a friend...Margaret Mary Louise...who is a constant source of giggles for me. At the age of 70, she is a petite little Italian spitfire who (hands down) makes the best manicotti I've ever had in my life. Over the years, I've learned not to cross her or in her words, "I'll break your legs". I know that may sound horrifying, but when it's coming from this little wisp of a thing with a Brooklyn accent, you just have to smile.
Anyway, I was with her recently and she started to tell me that she thought she might have cancer. I, of course, was shocked and quite upset. She said that she had worn one of her favorite black skirts that morning and it wasn't fitting properly. It appeared that she had lost alot of weight because the skirt, that usually fell flat over her tummy, was now loose and baggy. We parted ways, me with a very heavy heart. So a couple days later, I checked back in with her to see if she had scheduled an appointment to see a doctor and she said,
MML:"No, why would I see a doctor?"
Me: "Uhmmm, well...because you've lost alot of weight and you're concerned about having cancer."
MML: "Oh that..."
Come to find out, she realized later that she had put her skirt on backwards...that's why it didn't fit right. And no, she wasn't dieing of cancer. (whew! what a relief!) She then proceeded to give me a little fashion tip that I'd like to pass along. She said, "You know, when you're getting dressed, you should always check and make sure the manufacturer tag is in the back".
Good tip.
Hey SJP? Little tip for you from my friend Margaret... =)
