| Clarence at the Black Rose in Grand Rapids maybe 10 years ago |
A former boss once told me (this was a long, long time ago, no one I work with anymore), “I don’t know what you think you’re trying to prove.”
A man standing next to me at the urinals in the office once said, “I thought you were a girl.”
A man in the cafeteria, unable to find his indoor voice, said, “He should get a haircut.”
Someone else thought I was American Indian, which would have made it acceptable to some folks (I’d be very proud to be an American Indian, but I am, alas, Anglo-Saxon).
Today a lady shopping next to me in a big box store followed me with her eyes, even though I never got within a few feet of her. When I passed (at some distance), she took her purse out of her cart and put it over her shoulder.
I’ll wear my hair long anyway.
