Compliment?


Last week, my wittiest little student complimented and then zinged me in a matter of seconds.  We greeted each other at the beginning of our session.  He said, “You look beautiful today.” 

“Thank you,” I responded.  “That’s a very nice compliment.”

“I hope my future wife will be as beautiful as you…” he continued.

My smiled brightened as I threw back my shoulders and sat up a little straighter, ready to bask in more niceties. 

“Except, I hope that my future wife will be 20 years younger,” he concluded.

My body (and ego) deflated instantly.
