“Hello!” I said excitedly as I
claimed my long-awaited hug.
“Hey, gorgeous,” replied
Boyfriend. (Boyfriend is nice like that.)
My already considerable ego swelled
dangerously. Compliments, while pleasant, tend to instill in me an
over-abundance of pride that destroys the sweetness of my soul.
Luckily, on this occasion I was saved
from corruption by immediately, and quite accidentally, walking into
a glass door.
My dignity was bruised, as were my
knees.
