Where is your husband? Is he an OFW?
About two weeks ago, Kevin, Mom and I went to Megamall to visit a trade fair. As we were about to go home, we saw that there was another fair about herbal medicines. Since there was no entrance fee, we decided to take a look. While Mom availed herself of a free massage, Kevin and I roamed around to view other products that were also exhibited. Kevin and I stopped in a booth selling eye drops. As I was inquiring about the product, the seller suddenly butted in asking, "Where is your husband? Is he an OFW?"
"I'm sorry?"
"I'm sorry, are you still single?"
"Yeah, I'm still young! I'm not even 20!"
"You sure look like you're below 20. How old are you, 18?"
"I'm just 16..."
"Ohh! Sorry, miss. I just thought that you're already married. Bata ka pa pala, ang laki mo kasi! Magpapayat ka naman..."
Well, just guess how horrible I felt after that.
