She Was Charming
By Tom Turner
She was charming. She was attractive. And she had a most devastating manner of speech. I met her at a party, and, as the evening rolled on through off-color jokes and singing, I felt I knew her pretty well. I had found a friend.
Two weeks later I spotted her at a local drive-in. She was standing at the window placing her order.
ANXIOUS to show my buddies that I actually knew her and alerting them to listen to her speak, I casually strolled up to her.
"Hi, there, Nancy, Remember me?"
She turned. She wasn't smiling. "I don't know," she brushed, "should I?"
I couldn't tell at that moment whether I was blushing or merely feeling the ice tumbling through my veins. I panicked. Suppose it wasn't Nancy. Her voice didn't sound quite as different as it had that night. I laughed recklessly and screamed my order to the astonished waitress
SUDDENLY someone yelled "Hey, Nancy!" from across the parking lot and she waved back. I made the situation worse:
"Uh, Nancy, I met you at a party —remember—Ned Blocker's pinning?"
"Oh yes," she said with the aloofness of an Eskimo. She still wasn't smiling. She turned and walked away.
My buddies were in stitches. My evening was ruined. In fact I still hear about it occasionally.
The moral of this story: Go to
your parties. Form new friendships then forget about them. You're much better off that way.
