i took my coat to the dry cleaner today. it is grey wool, with a white fuzzy band around the hood, and little images of inuit hunters on the pockets and back. the lady at the desk asked me if i needed it because i was going home. she asked if it was cold where i came from and if that was why i needed my coat, to go to my cold home. after explaining that i was, in fact, from nova scotia, where it is actually warmer than here, and was just going to saskatchewan, which... is about the same temperature as here... i realised that she actually thought i was an inuit woman, getting my inuit coat cleaned to go to my inuit home. i was confused, flattered and amused.
what a strange way to start your day.
