My Big Mouth

My editor is the kind who likes the androgynous look I believe. Ever since I started working here, she always wore men's clothes...men's collared shirts, pants, men's shoes. She walks like a man too.

Everytime we talked longingly about marriage and tease each other about men (90% of us in education are single females- so guys, if u wanna work here look out for Education desk), she would roll her eyes and say something like "For goodness sake!" I was half wondering if she is butch.

Today she wore a skirt. A white pleated skirt.

I went over to her desk (not noticing her skirt earlier) and was about to ask something about my assignments later in the day. So I walked to her desk and said "Hi, I wanna ask you about....ARE YOU WEARING A SKIRT??!"

She put her hands on her hips and gave me a half-amused-half-embarassed look akin to nearly laughing at my, erm, reaction. "I have knees and ankles too you know!" she said. I was like huh? for awhile but ok, maybe she has finally felt a need to be feminine.

I have yet to check out her legs.
