Madame Butterfly

A few days ago when I was fluttering about in Wal-Mart, a certain girl that I passed while searching in vain for the chai I came in to purchase, informed me that I had "neat ankles". Now, I don't usually respond to such . . . Remote and totally unrelated comments, but I just had to reply "And you have boisterous ears!" along with a glow-in-the-dark smile as I presently grabbed the nearest box of English tea and sped away, hoping to give off smoke as I ran. In recalling my actions, what should I have said? Or not at all?

how i would have loved to see that. i laughed when i read it. i think that it was the perfect thing to say, if not for the situation, for the story you were able to tell.
