We visited them in NYC over the holidays and the girls took off to get some Chinese takeout so he and I had a few moments to spend time getting to know each other. I noticed that he had these two colored rubber bracelets around his left wrist. I thought they were just some big rubber bands he was saving until he mentioned that one band was a Lance Armstrong 'Live Strong' bracelet and the other one was for breast cancer research.
People tell me that I curl my top lip over my bottom lip when I try to keep from busting out laughing. I think I said something like 'Oh, that's nice' and changed the subject.
Those pink “Breast Cancer Awareness” ribbons/bracelets/whatever really work! Why, until I saw a ribbon yesterday, I had no idea such a disease as “breast cancer” even existed, or that absolutely no medical research has ever been done into the causes and treatments. Now, my awareness has been improved, let me tell you.
