So, there was I, hot stepping it around the National Gallery, viewing the lovely and equally rancid artwork with my own brand of inept criticism, when I was approached by a young gentleman:
He: Pardon me, I am terribly sorry to interrupt you…
Me: [Looking suspicious, politely distant] Ahhh…sure…Yes...?
He: Well...I just wanted to tell you that…I love your hair.
Me: [Looks suspicious; cameras? squints eye; weirdo?] 'Scuse me…?
He: Your hair, I love the way that you wear your hair.....
Me: [Assesses sincerity; preens] Really? Well…ahh…thanks. Appreciate that.
He: No really, don’t ever change it. It is great!
Me: [Eyes twinkle; kicks dirt; pats hair] Well…, shucks, you are too kind.
He: [Sighs; reminisces] My mother used to wear her hair like that.
Me: [Wilts; jaw drops; ] Your mother…??? Well…errr… [Ego deflates]
End scene.
A body just cannot make this stuff up.
On that weirded out, disgruntled note, I shall now exit.

I am sure his mother was just as good looking...so take it as a compliment, unless you remembered to ask him for a pic of his mother so you could judge for yourself.

cuhdear!
enough to mek a person feel old. that is like the two wipper snappers at work that saw my picture downstairs and say they were arguing about how long ago it was taken. apparently i have depreciated muchly in the two years since the picture was taken.
damn young people!
lol... what a way to burst your bubble!!
Hush ... one a dem tings. I'm sure he meant well.
ouch... wow... hell, take it as a complement... most guys secretly want to marry a woman who's just like their mother!!! so basically, you're marriage material...
