OF A GOLDEN AGE

At Target on Christmas Eve, my boyfriend stood in the slow line while I got through a faster one. I went to wait with him and the checker studied me. I studied him back.

Finally he said, “You look just like this friend of mine.”

“Oh yeah?” I said. “That’s cool.”

“Yeah! Same height, same build, except she’s black!” he said. I laughed.

“That’s the funniest thing,” he said. “You two could be sisters, except you’re white and she’s black!”
