Mary and I attracted small foreign men. We were tall Irish girls with broad shoulders and hips. “They know we can plow the fields…without the mule,” said Mary. One night, on the inbound Blue Line, two men sidled up. “Here, you have,” one said, holding out a cassette of Guatemalan disco music. We left them disappointed.
This made me laugh. And also brought to mind the time that someone asked me out on a date because I had “childbearing hips.”

Oh, the “childbearing hips” comments. Yes! And in Thailand, I was once described as a gentle giant. I’m not sure if I attracted any, though. Maybe it was the school uniform.

I’m stuck on Guatemalan disco. Now I’ll need to google it.
