Perspective

I don't wear jewelry hardly at all and definitely not enough for all the loads I have laying around. So, I was excited to wear one of my favorite necklaces yesterday--boasting a coral branch as the pendant (a rare find!). However, while talking to a friend she broke off the conversation, staring with a puzzled expression at my necklace.
Finally she asked, "What is that?" I responded, explaining it was a branch of coral. Her expression did not improve, "It looks like a vein."
Errr...really? Maybe she just has blood and vampires on the mind...
