like a fish outtta water

My wife hosted a dinner party for all our friends, some we hadn't seen for

quite a while, and everyone was encouraged to bring their children as well.



All during dinner my wife's best friend's four-year-old stared at me sitting

across the table from her.



The girl could hardly eat her food for staring at me.



I checked my shirt for spots, felt my face for food, patted my hair in place

but nothing stopped her from staring.



I tried my best to just ignore her but finally it was too much.



I finally asked her, "Why are you staring at me?"



Everyone at the table had also noticed her behaviour and the table went quiet for

her response . . . . .



. . . The little girl said "I'm just waiting to see how you drink like a fish."
