They???! Mmph…

Nat, Jean and I went for breakfast at the school cafe. When I was digging some loose change for my drink, the cashier asked in mandarin..

“You’re the one who has kids right??”

For a good 5 seconds, I looked at her with my mouth opened. It was too random and…shocking.

“Huh??? Me? Kids??”

“YA!! They said you have kids..” Her eyes moved down to my belly.

“HUHHH!!!??? WHO? THEY?? Staff or students??”

She gave me a confused look and repeated.“They said you were the one with kids and still managed to keep a good figure.”

“Oh… NO NO!…NO!!” I didn’t know what to say, except saying NO.

“You’re not married??”

“Er…No…” *No, again*

“Oh oh..so sorry. I saw that you are slim and thought that you were the one they mentioned..”

This kind of “THEY SAID” thing really scares me. Really. Firstly, I am not a regular customer. Secondly, each time I just place my orders and says no more than “HOW MUCH” and “THANK YOU” in the cafe, and yet, could be the potential topic of gossip among the aunties IS VERY VERY SCARY!

When I walked past the counter again after I finished my breakfast, she called me again and said:“You exercise a lot right??”

“Er…Not really.”

“Really??? Because you’re slim!! Your stomach very flat!”

I wonder who that actual person is…tsk tsk tsk.
