"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)"
All I can think of is that some people are really body self-concious and maybe Keisha has been having self-esteem issues. After all, people who are like that are very sensitive and even a JOKE can set them off and make them feel terrible. So, its probably best not to even joke about it but I understand Ginny was just kidding (It is pretty funny.) I think Keisha was overreacting but only because she has body issues and I probably want people to joke about my body either. But saying someone has a big butt is kind of a compliment, its really not that bad. Anyway, tell Ginny to stop telling Keisha she is sorry, because this will only bring up old emotions for Keisha and will only re-start the drama. Just let it go - Im sure she will forget about it.

So what you are saying is that Ginny was just clowning around and did not mean what she said but Keisha took it to heart and thought Ginny meant it
