NEIGHBOR:  Come over for corn on the cob.

ME:  Okay.

NEIGHBOR: (Carrying cold Sauvignon Blanc, 4 cobs of corn, and the butter dish.) Do we need napkins?

ME: No. I’m wearing a maxi dress.

NEIGHBOR: A max dress is not as absorbent as a maxi pad.

ME:  I’m just saying, I’ve got a lot of extra fabric here.
