THE FIFTY-FIVE PARTY OF A URUGUAYAN GIRL

THE FIFTY-FIVE PARTY OF A URUGUAYAN GIRL

  Several days of preparation had passed. The whole family was nervous. The husband of my friend, the international ballerina of Tango, was going to be the girl's godphather.

  Came the day. They had rented a party room. All nervous, especially young men: father and uncle of the girl.

  The uncle went to cut his hair to " degraded"  in a nearby "Coifer". But the event made him sad and a tear, from time to time, spilled through his eyes.The brother, the celebrated father, was more nervous than anyone else.

   There was only one bathroom in the house and next to the grandparents, the uncles and the girl and her sister had to stand in line before the bathroom.

   The party was at 9:00 at night.

  My friend's brother was nervous and whimpering because he was his favorite niece the girl and he felt like a daughter. Besides, the girl was not like the other teenagers, she did not wear shorts or tight pants or allow her male admirers to get close. She still considered herself a teengirl, that's how they had raised her.

  At last my friend's brother took a rigorous bath. Both brothers discussed the perfumes suitable for the occasion. The girl's father believed that the birthday was for him. He was perfumed with colognes, hair creams, etc.

   But something very important was missing. The suit of the godfather, man of the dancer, who had been sent to make a very famous tailor and had to collect minutes before the party.

  Already about to start the celebration, the room full of guests, the brother of my friend is trying on the dress. And here's his surprise that they had made a mistake in the tailoring shop. The suit was for an obese man, twice its anatomical proportions.

  He called the tailor but the store had already closed. The young man finally cried but this time with frustration.The girl in pink costume was beautiful: blonde, green eyes and many curves.

  The godfather resigned himself and put on that baggy suit that was falling constantly and had to tie with a rope at the waist.

   When he went out to the dance floor accompanying her niece on that glorious day, the guests thought it was a costume party. The young man full of shame but danced the waltz dragging the bottom of his pants. And crying with emotion.

  The guests took it as a joke so as not to overshadow the beauty of the girl. And so they were photographed. The photos where he was were next to the head of the girl.

   After everyone took champagne and ate the cake, the godfather with his good humor took everything as a joke.

 The truth is that afterwards everyone remembered the peculiar suit of the godfather.

  Of course, on Monday he went to the Tailor's shop and he told him:

  -Former turned out to be the fat man when he wanted to wear that small suit. He spent the night calling me but I could not attend to him. I will return your money to both of you. It was my wife who is almost blind and does not distinguish an obese from a skinny one.The tailor had to return to return the money to the husband of my friend, the dancer.

   And everything remained in a simple comic anecdote to remember ,
