A story from my mother

[Frantic Freddie]

This is really kinda funny & one of my mom's favorite stories....


I was about 18-19,I'd already left home & had come back to visit.Mom was managing a nice little nightclub & worked days mostly.So I dropped in to see her one day at the club.
Now my family's always been very physically affectionate,me & my brothers have always kissed Mom on the lips.Also,at that time Mom bein' about 37-38 & very good looking she had no shortage of guys wanting to date her,but she was extremely picky & turned down most of them.

So I go in,kiss Mom,talk a bit,kiss her again & leave,Mom picks up the story from here...

After I left,an older lady,typical barfly,calls Mom over & says to her "Honey,don't you think he's a little young for you?"
Mom laughs & says "He's my oldest son"
Lady says "Yeah,yeah,I know all that,why don't you let me introduce you to some nice guys your own age"
"No really,he's my son!"
"Yes dear,I understand,but I know some nice fellows your own age...."

Mom never could convince the lady that she wasn't preying on late-teenage boys as Ms. Barfly continually would ask her if she'd like to meet some guys "Her own age"

Ah yes, I've really stopped counting the number of times something similar has happened while I am out shopping with my daughter. Not a sugar daddy, just a daddy.

Oddly enough, if I have the patience to explain myself, I sometimes end up getting hit on. "Oh, it's so sweet that you're watching over your daughter like that. I'm sure you're really busy, but if you have some free time, I'd love to invite you out for a coffee or something." I rarely have the patience to explain that "father shopping with daughter" does not automatically mean "single father", especially since I never take my wedding band off.

Of course, my daughter always tells my wife when this happens.

Something similar happened to my wife when she was a teenager (16 or so). One of her uncles was a bachelor, and very much a ladies’ man. Over the years he kept dating women that were progressively younger and younger than he was. He went to one party, and not having a date, took my wife. Everyone at the party thought she was his date, despite her protests that she was his niece. She finally had to pull out her driver’s license to prove to the other guests that she was indeed his niece, having the same last name. They were finally convinced.

I get it all the time when I go shopping with my dad, mostly from salesmen, especially when I'm shopping for electrical/kitchen appliances. It's beyond me that someone can hear my kids calling him 'Poppy' and STILL think that he's their father. All the female staff and some of the guys try to flirt with him, so shopping with my dad is always interesting.

None of her beeswax how old her boyfriends are. How freakin' presumptuous. Even if you weren't her son--that woman was pushing her nose in a little too far. If she wanted to be a cougar, that's her business and I'd applaud her for it.
