The phone rang at 10:30 p.m., and the caller on the other end was a complete surprise. It was Stumper on his way home from his weekend with his lady friend in upstate PA. “How the heck are you?” he queried, and I noticed more than a bit of happiness in his voice. “I’m fine—hope you had a good Palm Sunday.” He was calling me to let me know that he was becoming a member of the Catholic Church on Saturday. He spoke of his sponsor who has a crush on him, but she’s not a spring chicken. “She’s the same age as us,” he lamented. “Excuse me—I’m not the same age as you.” He didn’t believe me, and I said, “I’m 33, soon to be 34.” “But you’re so…so…so mature,” he stuttered as he hopelessly grasped for a way to save the insult. Then something moved him to speak off-color, which he warned me that he was going to do so before he did it. “You have a set on you that men die for.” Oh, God, here we go again. “Your chin’s never felt the floor,” he remarked.
I like the girls—they are part of who I am, and they've been with me since high school, as I was well-endowed even when thin. However, I’m more than the owner of one hell of a rack. My personality should intrigue men more than the girls. Seriously, I’m a damned good date because I’m intelligent, quick-witted, and fun—these things have nothing to so with the size of my chest. I wondered for a brief moment what I lacked compared to his older lady friend who lives up North. Then I decided not to worry about it; I know who I am, and it does happen to be his loss.
