weight...

Twig walks in to quickly check her e-mail at the stop-and-go PCs. Twig was once a stick. Stick has some flesh; on the other hand twig looks like the skeleton in your biology class with a layer of epidermis on top. Twig, is a former national beauty queen runner up. Vanity is her middle name. Twig drives Smitha mad and up the wall. Smitha & Spiderman are hence friends. Smitha however doesn't have Spiderman's superpowers and hence tries to walk the other way; easier on the back. Anyhow, people are different, and you accept them for who they are, mostly hoping that they do the same to you. But people surprise you. And in this case, she is the paying customer, you do what you got to do.

Smitha gets to leave the room to lighten herself in the washroom as Twig finishes up her computer work and begins to head off to wherever she is heading. A conversation takes place, where Smitha tries and not laugh:

Twig(in the sweetest girlish softest voice): oh hi Smitha! You have gained weight!
Smitha: oh really...
Twig: yeah really. I think you have gained weight!
Smitha: Finally! I have been trying ever so hard to add on a few pounds.
Twig: (utterly baffled look) oh really? You are so lucky then. (and she walks off)

sorry...am still laughing at the priceless expression on her face! ROTFL....
