Teenage Problems - Read this instead it has the dialogue


Expert: Jaycie - 9/6/2009

Question
Read this instead it has the dialogue and subsitute my name instead of Stacy's  AND I DONT CARE IF IT IS NOT YOUR EXPERTISE YOU ALWAYS GIVE GERAT ADVICE

READ  this and tell me how you interpret everything Wendy said
So can Stacy accept Wendy's answer that she thinks Stacy is tall and thin and between sizes 2 and 8

Tonight Stacy telephoned Wendy.  

Stacy: “My sister is a snob and will not shop in stores unless she can spend a lot of money.“
Wendy” I have a friend like that as well, she will only buy things that are expensive. Today I bumped into her and she showed me a blouse she purchased for $95, but it was ok looking”
Stacy: “Again my sister is like that she has to spend a lot”
Wendy "Is your sister thin, heavy"
Stacy “heavy.”
Wendy "Maybe that is why your sister spends a lot because she is heavy she has to get clothes that fit. We are like my friend average"

This got Stacy upset the average part, because every one always tells Stacy she is thin.

Stacy: “Wendy you always tell me I am tall and thin.”
Wendy: You are tall and thin.  But what I  mean by average is that we don't need a specialty store that we can go into any store and buy off the rack. Whether it is 95 dollars or 95 cents.

Stacy: “But I still do not understand average”\
Wendy "We are not anorexic or heavy, we can go into any store and buy off the rack, your sister cannot, average can be anywhere from a size 2 to 14" I

Stacy: “But you said to me that I am tall and thin
Wendy: “You are tall and thin, you are far from being heavy, have you looked in the mirror.  We are not super skinny or overly fat. You are tall and thin"
Stacy: “You once said to me that you think I am any where from a size 2 to 8"
Wendy: "I am not good at sizes but if I have to make an educated guess I would say between 2 and 8"
So when they were about to hang up
Stacy "Just confirming tall and thin and between size 2 and 8"
Wendy: "Exactly"  

Answer
I think Stacy was reading too much into this. Wendy is right, any size from 2-14 is an average size for women. In some places, it's even a wider range. Most people say that others are thin when they're a healthy weight. It's not a bad thing to not be anorexic or over weight. She should stop worrying about what her friends say and be comfortable with herself. She's a perfect size.
