So pretty woman

Last week I walked into a jewelry store with Jill who has been shopping for a replacement wedding ring. Jill is not a typical diamond ring buyer, she wanted something a bit out of the norm, so she had her heart set on a panther ring. Into the store we went, and the wall of salesmen quickly sized us up, We had just landed in Phoenix and had not dressed for the occasion. We looked like two people who just wanted to day dream or possibly steal something. They pushed the newest associate out to greet us. Jill explained what she was looking for and jewelry cases opened up. She tried on the first ring, which was solid gold and just to masculine for her tiny hand. The next ring was on the other side of the store. As we were walking over the sales lady explained it was "povaide" I had no idea what that was, it sounded like a great dessert to me. So I asked the stupid question, What is povaide? (Jewelry just is not my thing). The wall of salesman watching all rolled their eyes. As it turns out, it is just a fancy term for lots of diamonds. I have found a new confidence to ask the so called "stupid" questions. I am now asking all the time. I have found out the most interesting things.. everywhere. How many other people wonder but are afraid to ask? I have decided asking questions makes you curious not stupid. Well, Jill got her wedding ring and the new sales associate got her sale, and the wall of salesman learned a valuable lesson about sizing up the rift raft who are now "povaide". So pretty woman.
