TWO D-O-W AND AN INNOCENT

I couldn't help but overhear. It was a crowded restaurant but the conversation was clearly discernible. They weren't embarrassed to talk loudly and I wasn't embarrassed to listen. I was dining alone, my food nearly finished, so I cocked an ear and focused on what they were saying.


The three women were obviously comfortable with each other. My guess was that I was seeing three generations, daughter, mother and grandmother. My guess from the conversation was that the youngest was separated from her husband and was fearfully contemplating the dating game.


"What do you look at first when you meet a man?" MF (careful folks, that stands for Mother Figure) tossed out.


GMF(grandmother figure) replied,"First the smile, then the eyes and am sure to check out his behind when I can. A great behind can make up for a lot of physical flaws."

MF laughing," Me too, me too."

DF(by now you should be pointed in the right direction and are thinking, Daughter Figure),eyes widened as though she were seeing these women for the first time. With flaming cheeks she just said,"You must be kidding. I don't know you two. I have never looked at a man's behind."

Just then their waiter, Jeff, appeared to take their order. Now I have known Jeff for years. He waited on my husband and I regularly and since my husband passed, Jeff has been extra special to me. He goes to my church so we also see each other outside of the restaurant. He is every women's dream of the perfect son.

Some waiters are good and efficient. Jeff was all that but he also had a charm and ease about him that made him a favorite. He really liked people, his job and as far as I could tell, he never had a bad day.

He was asking flame faced DF what she wanted to order. The older ladies caught DF's eye and were cocking there heads towards Jeff with absolutely lascivious gleams in their eyes. It was obvious to them at least that Jeff was flirting with DF and they wanted DF to flirt back.

When Jeff left, the two older women pounced on the younger one who was bleeding through her cheeks.

"What did you think of him?" MF asked, then wickedly added, " What did you think of his behind?"

The older ones looked at each other and agreed, "A good seven. Nothing to stand alone but definitely not a deal breaker."

At this, DF threw her hands in the air and said,"Who are you? I don't even recognize you."

Now I must admit, I had never looked at Jeff's behind but now I was curious. Besides, we weren't related so what would be the harm. Had to admit, I have been guilty of that also through out the years, all the while condemning men who talk to your chest. Hum, does that make me a D O W (dirty old woman) also?

Suddenly, I could not wait for Jeff to come back. My dessert was almost gone and this was too much fun to pass up Ah, here he comes----------
