A Kid Defines Divorce

Dating/Single Life, Kids/Teaching

Reading a story about a kid whose parents are divorced….

Me: “Do you understand what that means? That they’re divorced?”
Kid: “Yeah. Divorce is what happens when a man gets in a bath tub with a woman who isn’t his wife, and then the wife finds out.”
Me: “Wow. That was specific.”
Kid: “You know my Uncle Dave?”
Me: “The one you and your mom want me to date? Yes.”
Kid: “That’s why HE’S divorced.”

Great. Can’t wait to meet him.

Sassy Pedicurist sees me repeatedly checking my phone and laughing:

Sassy: “This person texting you, very funny yes?”
Me: “Ha yeah he’s a funny guy.”
Sassy: “Oh– a man? You go on date with this man?”
Me: “No no. A friend.”
Sassy: “He have wife? Girlfriend?”
Me: “No…”
Sassy: “This man, he look nice? You think he look nice? ”
Me: “Well, yeah, he’s a good looking guy.”
Sassy: “He think YOU look nice?”
Me: “I mean…I think so?”
Sassy: “He gay? He like the men?”
Me: “No.”
Sassy: “I see no problem here. This is husband.”
Me: “It’s not really that simple.”
Sassy: “I hear lots of excuse from you. You know who make lots of excuse?”
Me: “Please don’t say your cousin who died alone.”
Sassy: “ALL ALONE.”
