To this very day I am still STUNNED how those two words changed my life.
My F1RST posting in Berlin. My F1RST mobile patrol around the city with someone and he said those two words.
Me being STOOPID asked what they meant. He followed it up with…”She was F*****g UGLY.
There was I all prepared to rise in the ranks and BE someone #important.
Until I laughed so much that I fell.
One husband and two boys later and a career as a HOUSEWIFE/COOK/CLEANER/MOTHER/ACCOUNTANT/LAUNDRY WOMAN/FIRESTARTER/VET/PERSONAL SHOPPER/MAID of ALL Works etc etc
Go figure.
