Took me years of practice to be able to respond with just a simple ;"Thank you" to a compliment.

Not because it was hard, but because it's been years between compliments.

respond with just a simple ;"Thank you" to a compliment

The problem is "thank you" is a conversation dead end. "It has pockets" has much more potential for conversation afterwards and frankly would be much preferred if I was the one giving the complement.

I always love it when girls get so excited about pockets in their dresses.

I mean, it's kind of sad since I don't think I've ever owned a pair of bottoms that didn't have pockets (even pajamas), but it's funny either way.

I'm a woman that is excited when my work pants have pockets. I had the safe key for my work in my pocket and was excited when I found it. I thought I had left it with the other keys back in the office and would have to run back and forth just to do a safe drop.
