The Look 2

In the car on the way back to Berne from Zurich after visiting one of his good friends.

I: She must be really smart.
He: She is. How could you tell?
I: Well she was sent to NYC in mid 1960s as a journalist. No school would send a lousy student abroad as a school journalist.
He: What school journalist?
I: It was in 1960s, so she must be at school, right?
He: She was a professional journalist!!!
I: Eh…? But she’s only a bit older than you are, no?
He: Almost 20 year older actually (giggled).
I: Eh…?????

The Look 1

My former classmate told me that she would come to Geneva with someone I knew for a conference. The two of us went to Geneva to meet them, two gorgeous women.

He: So you two were E’s classmates? Lovely to meet you ladies.
We the women couldn’t stop laughing.
I: She’s my professor, not my classmate. Trang was my classmate.
He: Oooops….

On the way back to Berne in the car.

He: Was she really your professor?
I: Yup. He: How old is she?
I: Either late 50ish or early 60ish. Why?
He: Really???? What did she teach?
I: Yup. Theories of sexualities, and yes she is a feminist, both scholar and activist. He: Eh…???
