Question Posted Thursday February 1 2007, 10:18 pm
Shelley (who is skinny) was talking to Audrey (a coworker). Audrey asked; Shelly when is your birthday; Shelley told Audrey when it was; Then Audrey said: Well here they are so stingy, all our company gets when we celebrate a birthday of a coworker is a cake; like we need cake; The topic was changed to something else. Every one (including Audrey) always tells Shelly that she is skinny. Later on that night Shelley asked her friends; Is Audrey implying anything and does she think I am fat; Shelleys friends said; No Audrey is not implying anything. She is just saying cake is not healthy; MY QUESTION: DO YOU AGREE WITH SHELLEYS FRIENDS?

And, also as usual, I wish that she would not worry so much because there is no need to. As usual, I wish she would just be happy with who she is and not fret and stew over other people's comments.
See, she didn't say it to mean anything towards Shelley's body weight. She didn't even say it to mean cake is not healthy either, per say. Women always tend to say things such as "like we need cake" considering women in general are obsessed with their weight.
She really just said it meaning that the employer is cheap about employee birthdays. Instead of, say, a bonus on their paycheck, they get a measly cake. "Like we really need cake [we need a bonus instead]"
