hands errors rooms
A woman at the rear of the room raised her hand. I was focused on the argument now and made a minor social error, which I quickly corrected. "The fat woman-overweight woman-at the back?"

I haven’t changed my mind. That’s the point! I want to spend my life with you even though it’s totally irrational. And you have short earlobes. Socially and genetically there’s no reason for me to be attracted to you. The only logical conclusion is that I must be in love with you.

What would you like?" "A skinny decaf latte." This is a ridiculous form of coffee, but I did not point it out.

All of us have to make some accommodations and allowances if we are to live with another person.
