Coo coo ca-choo

Dear teenage boy in the blue* car at the intersection of Street 1** and Street 2** yesterday afternoon,

I'm not sure what you were doing cruising around town in the middle of a school day, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it was lunchtime. I did notice that your car was clean and you didn't have your music blaring so loudly the entire neighborhood could hear, so that tells me you're a fairly decent guy. And you were a nice enough looking fellow. I'm sure once you grow into that nose, any gal would be lucky to have you.

But I'm not that gal.

See, as exciting as I'm sure it was for you to have a gorgeous older woman winking repeatedly in your direction, I have a confession. I wasn't winking. My contact had a tear and I was desperately trying to keep from clawing my own eyeball right out of its socket. My bad.

Sincerely,
Gorgeous Older Woman

You must've made his day!

Oh, how I've been there! The tear, not the practically propositioning a teenage boy.

Dave said...

dang contacts.

too bad he'll prolly never see this.

he'll be cruising the intersection of A and B in his orange car for the next 3 weeks hoping to see you again.

Lara said...

Ha! At least he'll have a great story to tell all his friends. And hey, perhaps you boosted his confidence enough that he'll finally ask that girl to prom that he's been crushing on for so long.

(I hate when my contact does that!)

Excellent, Becky.

The first time I went to get contacts I was SO excited about it. The Dr. put one in my eye and it HURT like crazy. My eyes were totally watering and I was thinking, do people really think this is worth it? But I was trying to get used to it. After a few minutes he took it out and found there was a tear in it. What a relief! I was so excited to find out that you can't actually feel contacts at all, really. :)

Very Funny! I'm sure he'll be watching out for your car in the future.

sometimes my contacts bug me at the WORST possible times... but I've never given suggestive winks to local teens - my teenage son would DIE of embarrassment!

Debbie said...

That is too funny! I bet it did make his day.

FluffyChicky said...

You are such a cougar! Rrrarr! Way to prey upon those younger men! :)

rachel said...

HAHAHA! Maybe he has a blog and is posting his own experience right now...

Sue Q said...

Hold on a second -- finish the story! Did he RESPOND to your advances? What did he say? How did he look? You can't just leave us all hanging like this! ;-0

Morgan and Derek said...

HAHAHAH! Sorry, but HAHAH!

Heather of the EO said...

You are too funny. I love your stories and your humor, lady.

Contacts. Great blog fodder!

Did he follow you home? Or couldn't you see past the tear in your contact?

That Girl in Brazil said...

Laughing. Out. Loud.

Been there, done that. (Except the guy smiled and waved. And I ran away, frantically flashing my wedding ring at him.)

Kimberly said...

Hee hee!

Strawberry Shortcake said...

That kid and the kid that walked in my hospital room delivering flowers while I was trying to nurse should get together and exchange stories :)

Loralee and the gang... said...

Too funny - he'll have a story to tell his teenaged boys one day...
