about

Hello, all- I'm Becky. I'm 16 years old but wise far beyond my years, so hopefully you can expect some good advice from me. I'm not here to spit out cutesy answers to every single question- I won't be a bitch, but I'll be sure to tell it like it is. Just accept it, and consider less-than-sweet answers as tough love. :]

"Ok please no funny answers and I want to know if Keisha is overreacting. Today at work Keisha was down on her hands and knees rearranging the cabinets in the work area and Keishas butt (rear end/booty) was sticking up in the air. Ginny (a coworker) passed by and said; Gee your butt looks big; This upset Keisha so she went over and asked; Ginny do you really think my butt is big; and Ginny replied (smiling the whole time); Well it must been the angle because you look fine standing up. I was joking.; Keisha said; But do you think my butt is big; Ginny replied; No; But this still bothered Keisha, however, Keisha didnt say anything and about a half hour later Ginny asked Keisha if she was ok and Keisha said; well it still bothers me; Keisha said; If your butt was big I wouldnt joke around like that. One never says something like that to someone who has a big butt; Keisha agreed and walked away. Throughout the day Ginny kept telling Keisha she was joking; However, about two hours later Ginny said to Keisha; I was joking; you have to gain; I was joking; MY QUESTION: DO YOU THINK KEISHA IS OVERREACTING; AND (2) WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION (0THER THAN SAYING IT IS SILLY) (KEEP IN MIND LAST WEEK ANOTHER COWORKER SAID TO KEISHA YOU ARE SO SKINNY DONT YOU EAT)"

I think Keisha was just a bit overreacting, but no one likes to be told they don't look right, so I can understand that she acted that way. As for the entire conversation, it seems like Ginny just was making a joke to Keisha, and Keisha took it a little too personally, so Ginny felt bad and apologized all day. I think that both of them will forget about it by next week, but also that probably Ginny shouldn't make any more jokes like that since Keisha is so sensitive about her appearance.
