Size 0 Is Just Stupid

I went shopping for some needed items for an upcoming business trip.  Since these items included pants, I knew that things would not go well.

You’d think that purchasing common machine washable non-lined black pants, suitable for work, would be easy, however, depending on what size you fancy yourself – it’s not.  Not at all.

You might find yourself in the unfortunate position of being in a dressing room next to a woman who shouts to a friend “I can’t believe the size 0 (christ on cracker, size zero is just stupid) is too small and the size 2 is too large.  I’m not eating dinner tonight.”  Tonight???  If you are a size 0, you don’t eat any night.  I’ll bet you don’t eat – ever.  Maybe you’ve never eaten, ever.  I’ll bet you have one friend.  A friend who is also a size zero because who else would be your friend?  Certainly not the Quill Sisters.  You couldn’t possible be that smart or funny or witty that we’d over look your size zeroness.

Scary, Scary Photos of Size 0

After trying on 32 pairs of pants, I finally found one pair that fit perfectly but weren’t in my size.  They weren’t in my price range either.  I bought them anyway because I was desperate.   The salesgirl noticed the tears steaming down my face and told me not to worry – that those particular pants run small.  OMG she was right!  Wasn’t I just in the dressing room next to a woman who was normally a size 0 but they were too small!!!  I feel so much better now.

So much better, in fact, that I had some gelato at the mall.  Guess who was there too – that’s right – size 0 girl. So much for no dinner tonight.  Clearly, she did not mean no dessert.  Maybe we could be friends after all.
