Becky blushed

It was the best meeting EVER.

Sean was presenting a case study. I like to watch Sean. He's very friendly and personable, like a very young dog, eager to please and self-deprecating and at ease in front of an audience. Today I watched his mouth, which seems to move in more directions than most mouths. Like the puppeteer hooked him up to a couple extra rods. He has these even, white teeth and it was mesmerizing, watching them appear and disappear between the lip and cheek movements.

But that's not what this is about. Sean was talking about a text messaging campaign on behalf of A Terrific & Troublesome client, and a television placement he had secured. "We had to keep them away from 'dirty texting,'" he remarked, as he showed us the clip. He talked about the great results, and the great joy of the client, and he overlooked an arm waving in the audience.

When he sat down, the meeting coordinator (Scary Susan) said sweetly, "Becky, did you have a question?" She did. Becky, our erstwhile yogi, is sweet and elegant, with a pixie face and haircut and a tall, trim figure. I totally crush on Becky, ever since she won the office chili cookoff with her husband's chili, and then couldn't wangle the recipe out of him because he doesn't USE a recipe.

Sean leaped back to his feet to address the question. "I have to know," said Becky: "what IS dirty texting?"

As Sean floundered, big, bold, bulky Jeff flipped open his cellphone, held it aloft, and bellowed, "WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER?!"

I was sitting behind Becky, and during the ensuing bedlam I watched the back of her neck turn crimson. I don't know when I've laughed so hard at a meeting. What a perfect opportunity, and Jeff was right there ON it!

Sean, good showman that he is, merely said, "I think Jeff pretty much covered it," and sat down again. <wiping eyes>

Wasn't that HILARIOUS?! I almost died. I didn't, however, see Becky blush.
