I Never Thought I’d Say That!

During the past decade, cisgender people I know and have spent time with, have usually said something that stopped them in their tracks and they’ve said, “I never thought I’d say that!” It happens all the time. I’m sure all of you have had your share of comments made to you that have evoked a chuckle, guffaw or a few red faces. I thought I’d share a few of mine with hopes you’d think about your cisgender friends or family who’ve said something they never thought they’d say.

“Can I borrow some makeup?”

My lady friend and I were getting ready for an Equality Florida Gala. She needed some makeup and didn’t have her cosmetic bag with her. She asked me the question, stopped, thought about it for a second, then continued, “Did I really say that?”

“Do the hormones make you a better cook?”

My son, ex-wife and I were having dinner at my house and while we were grilling steaks and having a glass of wine, she asked me that question. I responded with, “Never thought you’d say that, did you?” She agreed.

“Do you wear panties?”

I was lunching with a friend who was dining with me for the first time since my coming out to her and she asked that question. I assured her I’d thrown all my tighty-whities away. I asked her if she thought I’d be wearing boxers or briefs. Her reply with a red face was, “How am I supposed to know?”

“Why is there a cardboard box of bras on your desk?”

A dear friend sent me three new bras she bought and had not even worn, but went up a couple of cup sizes and donated them to my cause. You know what it’s like, quality and comfortable bras are something to be cherished. My son was visiting for the weekend and came into the den to use my computer. There was a box with the bras on my desk. I’m sure it’s something he doesn’t get to ask everyday.

“Dad, can I borrow some flats?”

Last Christmas my daughter, son-in-law and twin grandsons were home for the holidays. It was a rainy winter in Florida and she had soaked her shoes in a sudden shower. We were going shopping on Christmas Eve and she needed dry shoes. She looked at my feet and then asked me my size. Who knew we wore the same shoe size?

“Your boobs are getting bigger!”

Again a statement from my lady friend. It was working in the yard one Saturday and I was not about to wear a bra. I was in my usual off-duty uniform of shorts, t-shirt and worn out sneakers. She looked at my chest in the shirt and made her statement. I replied that I’m glad, because these hormones aren’t cheap.

“Are these your panties or mine?”

It was laundry day for my, now live-in lady friend and me, and we were folding clothes on the bed. She grabbed her things as I put away mine. Picking up a pair of black panties, she asked the question. Even now she keeps saying things she’s never said before.

So there you have it. Just a small example of the words that have come out of peoples mouths they or I never expected to hear. I know you’ve had your share and I’d love to hear from you. These cisgender people sure can be funny sometimes.
