You are not a Chocolate cake!
Nadia and her husband were talking when he suddenly announced;
"She is a chocolate cake your friend, you know?"
In her mind she asked "can't we keep the conversation just about us?"
"That is nice, and what am I?"
"Oh, honey you are a Pound cake!"
Tears started to run down her cheeks. It was times like these that Nadia hated herself the most, here she was waiting for a kind word from Sharif while he was consumed with lust for another; she felt invisible to him.
In her mind she thought; "I am not a Chocolate cake, I am not even close... I am a pound cake to him!"
Again she had to organize her thought more tactfully and out loud she yelled with tears in her eyes.
"That is really nice, you couldn't think of anything better than stupid Pound cake?"
"There is nothing wrong with Pound cake, it is a compliment to be called a Pound cake" "Only a man could think of Pound cake as a compliment" she retorted dryly
"Only a woman can make an insult out of a shoe size. What is wrong with a pound cake?"
He stood there honestly refusing to acknowledge that he insulted her.
"Well, you are a fly, hovering over the chocolate cake."
There she said it! She felt better saying it too
