I was in the grocery store the other day when a woman came up to me and said, Arent you Kate?
I said, I am.
She looked me up and down and said, But your stories are so tall.
I said, And Im so short, right?
We both laughed.
It is astonishing to me that I get the chance to make myself tall through story.
Its better, even, than Binks Stretch-o-Matic.
