45K Big Fat Monster

Tara and I (and probably someone else) went clothes shopping and it just wasn't the day for Tara. Nothing seemed to fit right - the store never had her size, it may even say it's her size on the tag, but then it was too small in the arms, or the ribcage was too tight, or whatever. Everytime she found something cute, it didn't quite fit - mostly because Tara has an athletic build, but she was NOT feeling athletic that day. After a while, she got discouraged and everytime she found something cute she'd say, "But of course they don't have my size... because I'm size 45 thousand big fat monster!!!" I tried not to laugh out loud, but all that does is turn a smile into a wide open dropped jaw, happy eyes go buggy and eyebrows jump high trying to stretch the smile out of your cheeks. And that only makes the laugh far more draumatic than it would have been in the first place.

She still to make jokes about being size 45 thousand big fat monster...and it still makes me laugh out-loud.
