Teabag on the side-

Elevator rides.

For the Judey Kalchik #BookReviewHaiku unofficial challenge.
Surprised? That one of the hetero male persuasion would read this book? I read all three volumes of the trilogy. How else was I to know what all the fuss was about? 😎 Many critics pounded the writer with negativity. Reading their reviews it became obvious most never read the books and I wanted to be fair.
Sitting in the Philadelphia airport terminal on a two hour layover I pulled the first volume from my briefcase and read. A very attractive business woman, based on her navy blue suit dress, walked by, stopped and stared.
She said, “You can’t be reading that?” Being a bit snarky and tuned up a bit, I said, “Would you like to get some coffee?”
“I drink tea, and no thank you.”
“Bag on the side?”
I heard a “Humphhh” and I swear she rolled her eyes and marched away.
Thank goodness she didn’t bite her lip.
To many, I encroached on a realm they thought off limits but I just wanted to know what the fuss was all about. Besides I am major supporter of education and expanding my horizons.
By the way, my favorite moments, were the …
…Email exchanges. 🤣
