The pregnant profile can be frightening


On my walk to work, I noticed my profile in the reflection of store windows. Quite mountainous.

A girl wearing a tan trench, ankle boots, and knee high socks was walking in front of me.

She was wearing a dress, so I could see her legs from the edge of the trench to just below the knee to where the socks ended.

Super cute socks with some kind of black on black adornment on the sides of the upper band.

She had skinny legs and was beyond cute.

I felt like a whale behind her.

A waddling beached whale wearing knee high boots that take a lot of energy to even fit into.

But then I recalled what the subway train conductor said to me earlier -- "Don't you look beautiful."

Really made my day. Thank you train conductor man.

And thank you pretty skinny leg lady, too. I love your socks.


Oh and about the sketch...art is clearly not my strong suit.
