"This is a really good cut for the shape of your face," enthused the stylist, as she finished my hair and we walked toward the front desk. For some sick, egocentric reason, I felt compelled to tell her I'd just finished losing 62 pounds, so she'd understand why I wanted a shorter, younger style. "Really!" she exclaimed, which is precisely the sort of response I revel in. She added something else, but since I'm completely deaf in one ear, it escaped me. Then she tallied up the receipt for 16-year-old Kevin and me and said, "That'll be $10 and $12." "No," I corrected her, "he's an adult..." "Oh, I know," (by now she seemed just slightly confused) "but I thought you were a senior..." A SENIOR?!? I whipped out two twelves so fast her head spun. Poor Kevin bore the brunt of my indignation all the way home, until we finally put 10 and 12 together and realized she had heard only the "62"--as in "years old," rather than "pounds lost." The only thing worse than the blind leading the blind is the deaf heeding the deaf.
