A customer came in today. While I was getting her order together she struck up a conversation about something called the New York International Fringe Festival — this in and of itself was nothing, except that she brought it up like she'd assumed I knew what she was talking about & it wasn't until the chat had gone on for several minutes that she actually mentioned the name of the program itself.

"Oh," I said, "I'm not really much of a theatre person."

Her expression turned to slight surprise and she blinked at me for a moment before replying, "Huh, I thought you would've been."

I guess it says something when people don't even bother to ask if I'm gay now, but I don't know quite what that statement is supposed to be.
