|  | A woman who was out in the yard working when a moving van pulled up next door.
 She walked over to welcome the newcomers to the neighborhood wearing her dirty work clothes.
 
 The following week, the
                                 new neighbors invited her and her husband
 to a house- warming party.
 
 The woman wanted to make a better impression this time.
 
 She colored her hair, struggled into a girdle
                                , painted her lips,
 applied eye shadow and false eyelashes, painted her fingernails,
 and popped in her contact lenses.
 
 She admired herself in the mirror and 
                                said to her husband,
 
 "Well, tonight they are going to see the real me!"
