Coming of Age, Again (Give an Inch) edit #4.1

Thanks, milo, that was just what I wanted, something meaty to work with.

The only point I don't understand is

"She fought it then she caved and tried" lacks the tension needed for truth.

.

Do you mean the wording or the idea?

Thanks so much for your time with this.

So let's say I was an hour late to pick you up for our yoga date and of course it was because of that new frozen yogurt place so when I finally get there I toss off the flip "I fought it then I caved and tried" as one phrase just like that, would you believe that I fought it at all?

Yes, because I trust you, though I'd be highly suspicious of the hour time span. Why would you lie to me? Oh, it doesn't matter, I wouldn't be home anymore anyway.

But actually, point taken. I just don't think there's room here to convey a previous strong prejudice against cosmetic change, but I'll see if I can come up with a suitable mini-rant. Thanks for the explanation.
