NAME:

Rita

- Good Morning! – greeted a smiling man, suitcase in hand.
- Good morning! – Ritinha replied.
The man was amused, cleared his throat, smiled awkwardly.
– Is your mother there, girl?
- It is. But you are taking lard.
- Huh! “Taking a shower”, you mean, don't you?
- No. “Taking a shower” if it were my father. But my father is not taking a shower. It's in the office. Who is taking lard is the mother.
The man cleared his throat again, smiled again, "awkwardly."
– Why, girl, I was saying…

- No. You are a man. That's why you were saying. What was saying was me, that I am a girl. And it was saying that mom is taking lard.
The man couldn't take it anymore from clearing his throat, not knowing how to continue the conversation.
– Girl, look… that's not the way to say it. There are words that are not even masculine without feminine…
- Know. It has masculine words and feminine words. Just as there are men and women, boys and girls, cats and cats.
- But…
The conversation continued around, more and more animated, between Ritinha and the man with the suitcase in his hand. Ritinha's mother took her bath. He took a while but ended up leaving and found his daughter and visitor talking and laughing in earnest.
– Good morning, my lord… – he greeted his mother.
The man got up excitedly:
– Good Dio, my lady. Or good morning! I've been talking here with your daughter, while I'm waiting for you to finish your lard…
- What?! - The mother got angry. My lard!? Are you calling me fat?
- Me? Not me, ma'am, you're even skinny… I just want to know if you would like to buy some of our products…
- Products? What products?
– Great products to lose weight. Me…
– You naughty! I don't want to buy anything! Even more than an uneducated salesman like you. Please leave!
The man was gone as fast as he could, without even clearing his throat.
