IVY Tech Moment 01

I'm walking out of class behind Ebony, a young mom who arrived late to class to turn in a crucial assignment. As we head down the hallway, a guy steps out of his class in front of us and mumbles something to Ebony. She immediately begins to strut an attitude as she flashes a "talk to the hand" signal.

He looks at me.

"All you ladies make comin' to school real pleasant."

I continue walking, and say, "Oh?"

He starts walking alongside of me. "Yeah, in class it gets real distracting, but on breaks its a real pleasure."

"Oh."

"I don' mean that offensive."

"No?"

We stop walking and look at each other. Awkward raised eyebrow from me, awkward shrug from him.

I keep walking, but I can't pull off the attitude like Ebony.
