How to spot a lesbian
Cecilia had just arrived in San Francisco from a small city in the Bible Belt, after all — she'd probably never seen one of these exotic and elusive creatures.
She and her new Bay Area Life Coach were doing some window shopping when the important lesson occurred. Cecilia's editorial about the aesthetic of the display was interrupted by a time-sensitive alert.
"Lesbians, 3 O'clock," her mentor whispered without making eye-contact. It was a situation that called for casual nonchalance.
Cecilia turned her head to the right to observe a pair of women looking in the next window down. She studied them for some clue that would explain why her roommate thought them noteworthy. Who cares if they're lesbians, first of all. Secondly, they looked about the same as two new roommates on a walking tour — how on Earth could anyone know?
So that's what she asked in response to this announcement. Shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.
Her roommate leaned in close to answer the question, so no one else would hear the secret telltale sign.
"Comfortable shoes." she said from the corner of her mouth. Then she changed the subject. The lesson was done.
