I have a
quick wit.
Anyone who
knows me knows that I always have a comeback. I’m pretty quick on the draw when
it comes to those moments when I need something smart to say. Example: At my
shop I get this question a lot:
“You work in an ice cream shop, how do you
stay so thin?”
These days I
can say “Debilitating, life altering illness called Crohn’s disease.”
But before my
diagnoses I couldn’t say that. Instead I just kept my mouth shut. Finally once
person said it to me when I was having a bad day and the first thing out of my
mouth was “I don’t know, how do you stay so fat?”
Okay, maybe more rude than witty and I
certainly had plenty of time to think about it. I feel like I need a Balls
of Steel award for saying it though. Kind of like when you work in retail and
something won’t ring through and some idiot says “I guess it’s free today.”
But yeah, I’m
actually pretty witty once you get to know me. So I feel proud of that .
Challenge to
my Readers:
Got a chance
to be witty in your life but scared to try? Do it anyway. Think of that perfect
comeback and someday you’ll use it.
