The Pink Shoe Diaries

so, i am a whistler.

i whistle while i am the shower, i whistle while i am making dinner, i whistle at work.

i'm not too annoying about it. i just whistle little snatches from songs every now and then. half the time i don't even know what i'm whistling. it's practically subconcious.

and so this afternoon, i am organizing my files at my desk, whistling who knows what...and my boss stops short at my desk.

"what are you whistling?" she asks, and the way she is peering at me i can tell that she knows what it is.

i had to think for a minute since i wasn't even paying attention.

and then it hit me.

i was whistling that charming ditty "Put It In Your Mouth". i haven't even heard that song since my freshman year in college.

and so of course i reply to her "i don't know...i'm just whistlin'".

and she squints...like she is trying to think of what it is.

then it dawns on her.

"was that?......what i think it was?"

"i don't know! i'm really busy now! sorry!" and with that i turned back to my work.

i don't know what's worse, the fact that was whistling that song at work or the fact that my boss recognized the tune.

i guess this is a testament to my whistling talent.

and at least i wasn't singing it!
