Fair and Lovely

“Mamma, would you like to buy this?”

We’re at a departmental store, purchasing our monthly groceries. Stwabbit is standing there, among the shelves, holing a tube of ‘Fair & Lovely’, a much-advertised fairness cream.

“No!” exclaims the Missus. “I’m fair enough, thank you!”

Stwabbit follows her around, tube in hand.

“You’ll look beautiful, like Aishwarya Rai!” she pleads.

“I don’t want to look like Aishwarya Rai! Put it back on the shelf!”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure! PUT IT BACK!!!”

There’s a pregnant pause. Then, Stwabbit turns around and shrugs.

“Oh, well. If you don’t want to be fair and beautiful, that’s your problem!”
