I stood outside on my pavement and watched as the repairmen did the finishing touches to the windows. "All done ma'am," the taller one said to me while cleaning his hand on a piece of rag. I couldn't help but think he would look better with his shirt off.
I still couldn't comprehend the fact that he called me ma'am even after I had told him my name. I was slightly pissed about it but I figured he was simply being polite, I mean I was obviously a young lady -I refuse to think child.
It wasn't until he cleared his throat that I realized I stood unmoving gawking at him. I closed my mouth shut and turned to examine the newly fixed windows as my cheeks grew warm and I had to admit the windows were nicely done though it was very obvious that it was just done especially with the new paint job.
"Thank you," I said without giving my reply much thought. "It is just right."
