Nora
“She kept flipping out her retainer and grinning at me at the same time, and it was making me very nervous.
“What do they want to go to Radio City for?” she asked me. “That’s totally uncool to go there.”
“Not if you’re from Iowa it isn’t,” I said.
“Is it black-tie?” Roberta asked.
Just to freak her out, I said, “Yes.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Roberta hollered.
“I might have to buy a gown,” I said. The word gown always strikes me as being pretentious and silly.
“A gown.” That really shook R...oberta up. “How do you figure what’s a gown and what’s a dress?”
“I think a dress is plain and a gown has all kinds of stuff stuck on it. Like feathers and sequins and ruffles,” I said.
“You’re going to look pretty funny in a gown is all I can say,” Roberta said.
“Maybe I’ll just wear a black tie and call it quits,” I said.
Roberta hung up in a huff. She has no sense of humor sometimes.
Baba went with me to pick out a dress to wear. Her wrist was better, but Dee drove us downtown.MoreLess
