He brought the kids each a Disney ball and a 3-pack of gum.

So. Last night I went to a Bunco party put on by my new foster mama friend.
I was sitting there at a table where one lady was talking to another about her dermatologist.
"Was she in a car accident? Was she very badly burned?" I thought to myself.
"Was her face horribly disfigured by phosphoric acid during a science experiment gone awry?"
No. Apparently some people just go to the dermatologist!
The subject turned to Botox, and the possibility of getting it. I said,
"Did you know that Botox is actually a form of bochillism?"
They looked at me blankly.
I turned to the lady next to me (who it turns out I went to college with) and said, "You definitely know when a culture is too affluent. People start doing Botox."
Blank stares.
I looked back at my Bunco card and scribbled something.
The lady I was talking to shook her head and rolled her eyes.
Sometimes I should just keep my big fat wrinkly mouth SHUT!

THIS is why we say "YES!" much of the time that we're talking to each other! LOL!!
Ugh...not that looking 'freshened' wouldn't be nice down the line, but good grief. It's such an expectation by too many. I'd just be exstatic to win free laser hair removal for time management! ;')
Hilarious! And I AGREE!
I thought I was going to LOSE MY MIND at bunco once as we talked about floor plans, bathroom layouts, master bedroom amenities etc for about an hour. At one point someone actually started a new conversation about if it's better for the door to the bathroom to open in or out.Seriously. I had to keep a running silent conversation going in my head of what I actually wanted to say or I would have had to leave.
I know several people who go to a dermatologist regularly who have a history of skin cancer or are high risk (lots of moles, light skin, etc.). So there ARE legit reasons, though it sounds like this wasn't that type of conversation. :)
I've never played Bunco. This sounds so 1950's bridge club. Everyone in our grandparents' generation played bridge. I've always been kinda sad that's died out.
That is totally hilarious. Sadly I have a weird skin, er... thing... so I have seen the inside of a dermatologist office, BUT I think botox is official crazy pants. I could go without voluntarily sticking needles in my face, thanks.
Oh, the blank stares/eye rolling. I hear ya.
