About This Quote

The story of Blue and Mira is a classic case of a man being too embarrassed to strip off his clothes in front of a woman. In the 70’s, Blue was an exchange student from Sweden, and Mira was a woman from New York who had been hired as a nanny for the summers. The story starts with Blue being forced to strip down by his roommate, Freddy, who he has a crush on. The next thing we know, Blue is standing naked in front of Mira, who is sitting at a kitchen table.

This is where the story takes a turn. Mira tells Blue that she sees him as a man and therefore she doesn’t think it’s appropriate that he’s standing there in his underwear. In response, Blue tries to make sense out of this situation as she helps him realize that he’s been suffering from embarrassment all his life because he hasn’t been able to see himself as a man, which is why Freddy's comments made him so uncomfortable.
