Yesterday we had a mid-day showing on the house so Thomas and I bundled up and took the dogs for a walk.
It was mucky and beneath the snow melting was a considerable amount of trash strewn throughout our neighbourhood. The wind often picks up people’s recycling and carries it down the street, and of course the neighbourhood kids don’t help with their tossing of juice boxes and wrappers.
Who litters anymore? When I was a kid, we were taught not to litter but it seems some kids still do it.
As we rounded the corner to head home for the 3rd time (the showing took longer than I anticipated), it wasn’t surprising to see one of my neighbours, bent down, picking up trash and bagging it. She was about my age, I think.
Thomas stared at her as we walked by. In the middle of his neverending narrative, he pronounced, “Hey! I can see that lady’s BUTT!”
“Thomas!” I exclaimed. I quickly glanced over to see if she heard him.
She had. She was laughing, “Did he say what I think he said?”
“Uh.. yeah. I’m sorry,” I offered.
“No no,” she said, “I need new pants. He’s right.” She was still laughing, thank God.
We returned home and the incident was forgotten. When I got home from the gym last night, Daren asked me if anything weird had happened all day.
I said no, and he looked kinda weird. “Why?” I asked.
“Well,” he started, “it’s just Thomas said he went around the block for a walk and saw a lady’s butt. I was confused.”
“Oh yeah,” I laughed, and explained the story. “He couldn’t take his eyes off her after, and all day he kept asking me what her name is.”
“That’s funny,” Daren said, “That’s exactly how the beginning of our love began. I saw your ass and wanted to learn more.”
“I thought you fell in love with my eyes?”
“No honey. Ass, not eyes. See they sound the same.” He squeezed my butt.
Men. They’re all the same. And they start so early!

This site has been under maintenance and as a result I lost a couple of posts (and the comments, *sob*), which hopefully will be restored today - so if you see wonky things going on, it’s just me fixing crap.

My husband has always said he was a butt man, so there was no question it was my butt that got his attention. Men are all alike. Your husband and mine seem to have handed it down to another generation. God, help us all!
