Do you agree?

Question

FIRST STORY:

YOU SEE THIS IS THE PART THAT BOTHERS PEGGY. WHAT SHE CANNOT UNDERSTAND IS IF SHE WAS ALWAYS SKINNY WHY WOULD TANIA SAY "GIRL YOU ARE SKINNY" ALSO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY TANIA WOULD SAY “YOU ARE SKINNY WHEN PEGGY IS ALREADY SKINNY

MY QUESTION: DO YOU AGREE WITH WHAT I TOLD PEGGY?. ALSO IF SOMEONE IS ALREADY SKINNY WOULD THE COMMENT “GIRL YOU ARE SKINNY, YOU LOST WEIGHT” STILL BE SAID ANYWAY (REGARDLESS).

PEGGY AND TANIA STORY:

QUESTION after you read the story: Did I give the right answer?

STORY:

Peggy was out sick for two days in a row with food poisoning. When Peggy came back to work she met Tania by the ladies room

Tania: “Girl you are skinny, you lost weight”

(Peggy thought Tania was implying that Tania never thought Peggy was skinny before her two day illness - everyone is always telling Peggy she is skinny - all of her)

Then at 3PM the following conversation took place:

Peggy: “Tania do you think I still look sick and pale”

Tania “You do look pale”

Peggy “Do I still look drawn like you told me earlier”

Tania “ I didn’t say that. What I said was your face looked like it lost weight and when one isn’t smiling one looks paler and their face looks thinner”

Peggy called me that night and related the story to me.

Peggy “Is Tania implying that she never thought I was skinny before my two day illness.

I said: “No Tania was not saying that at all. All Tania said was that your face looked skinnier

Stacy who is a size 6/8 went to a store. Stacy was wearing a light weight jacket and was looking thru the blouse section of a department store: A heavyset girl by the name of Erica (Stacy asked her name) was there looking thru the same rack.

Erica: “This blouse will fit you” (She said this to Stacy)

Stacy: “Thanks” Stacy looked inside the blouse saw it was size 10, got a little upset.

Stacy: “When you took the blouse out did you look at the garment or the size”

Erica: “I just saw it wasn’t my size”

Stacy: “Because I am a size 6/8” (Stacy said this kind of low)

Erica “These blouses run small I take a size 20 but I also get a size 22”

Arlene: “Just out of curiosity what size do you think I am”

Erica: “You look like a size 6/8.

Then they parted company but then bumped into one another

Stacy: “What size did you say you thought I am”

Erica: “Definitely a size 6/8.”

Of course Stacy called me and told me the story and asked me if she could accept the fact that Erica thinks Stacy is a size 6/8. And I told her yes she can accept it. MY Question: Do you agree/concur with me

Answer 1

Yes, I agree with your interpretation.  stacy and Peggy need to get a little more secure in their self images.
