Default I gotta quit phrasing it this way...

...or "Babies are the biggest chick magnet ever"

So I'm in the local Barnes and Noble with my daughter. We get the belly button book, and the a new Baby Einstein DVD. The cougar behind the DVD counter instaprowls over to me when I buggy into the media area with the little one. "Can I help you with anything? Oh, she's so cute! Where's her mommie?"

"Mommie isn't with us" (d'oh!)

"Oh gosh, you're so good with her. Single dads are so hot!"

"Er, mommie's not with us in this store at this particular moment "

<embarassed silence and blushing>

I gotta stop phrasing it this way. I go to the bookstore like once a week, often with my daughter. Everytime she's with me, I get hit on by either an employee, or a random customer. I guess if I ever am single, it's going to be book store chicks FTW.

You're telling me the second thing she said to you was, "Single dads are so hot?"

Yes. Our B&N is like a Cougar outlet store. It's very odd, and the women are very aggressive.

This is confusing me as well. This woman thought you told her that you're a relatively recent widow and your child's mother is dead and her reaction was to tell you you're hot?

Struck me as super bizarre too. But sometimes even regular people have a brain fart.

She could have just thought he was divorced.

I don't think I'd be particularly upset by this state of affairs.

My brother's wife died young (age 23). A year after that he went on a rampage that lasted about 12 years. He had women practically throwing themselves on him when he was out with his young kids. I think there is a difference in how women react to widowers vs. divorced wife beaters.

"Can I take something out for you?"
"I was just, ahhh, I was just looking at something for my wife, God rest her soul."
"Oh God, I'm so sorry."
"Oh, no, no, she's not dead. We're just divorced. She's history. And obviously she does't wear underwear, and there are plenty of shopping days left until adultery, that is adulthood, which is to say Christmas, as in yule, yule log. Not a log, I don't have a log, but I mean, you know, if I had a log, not in the sense that you think I said I did... Good golly. 'Tis the season to be merry."
"Well, that's my name."
"No [censored]."
