Made It Pretty Clear

(I am in class, and a girl I’ve seen around school has straightened her hair. It’s usually pretty curly, so I comment on it.)

Me: “Your hair’s so pretty and straight!”

Girl: “Unlike me.”

(I take that to mean she has self-esteem issues, so I try to console her.)

Me: “Don’t say that. You’re pretty!”

Girl: “Oh, no. I’m pretty. I’m just not straight.”

(I cracked up so hard my stomach still hurts.)
