LaraMN: Queen of the gentle let-down.

[LaraMN]

I was at an outdoor concert with friends last weekend and I had a few drinks.
I was engrossed in conversation with my friend when a couple boys (and I mean BOYS) wandered over, interrupted us, and proceeded to initiate annoying pseduo-suave behavior. They asked if we had boyfriends around and my friend abruptly said, "no, but her HUSBAND is sitting over there."

They would not leave, and kept trying to chat us up. I got really annoyed, and in my modestly intoxicated state asked "how old ARE you guys, anyway?" One responded that he was 21, the other 23. In a most tactful and dignified manner, I burst out laughing and hollered, "you guys are BABIES!"

They STILL wouldn't go away, even after MrLaraMN finally wandered over looking stern and unamused by their presence.

My friend said I was really mean. I think she's overly nice.

:rofl:

1. What are you? 28?

Kiddo

[LaraMN]

2. I'm 30, fer chrissakes!

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Yungin!

:P

[LaraMN]

6. Not even!

In fairness, I probably "feel" my age due in part to my familial status.
Nevertheless, those guys looked like twelve-year-olds to me!

[Pierre.Suave]

8. I never feel my age

I still don't believe I am actually 32.... ;)

[Pierre.Suave]

3. Were they inebriated?

I am convinced there is nothing DUMBER than a 21-25 year old boy with some alcohol in him.

[LaraMN]

5. I couldn't tell- I probably wasn't the best judge of sobriety.

They didn't seem inebriated to me, just annoying.

[Pierre.Suave]

7. I cant believe they did not leave you alone

I mean, I know you are very pretty and all, but when they learned of your husband, they should have known better than to stick around...

[LaraMN]

9. I blame my friend.

She's too polite to brush people off; she seems to feel obligated to talk to people even if she doesn't really want to.

[Pierre.Suave]

12. ugghh, I know people like that...

it can be annoying.

[LaraMN]

14. Yeah- it also takes her about twenty years to leave from anywhere.

Her process of "saying goodbye" requires about an hour of parting conversation.

[Pierre.Suave]

18. I would totally hit on you too though...

:P

But I am old, so you would no doubt be charmed by my educated and experienced suave-ness and charm...

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

10. Dupe.

[The2ndWheel]

11. Really nothing worse than a gentle let-down

I'd rather take a sledgehammer to the groin than to go through a gentle let-down. The meaner the better, I say.

[LaraMN]

13. I'm not usually mean, but most people can take a hint.

I was also very annoyed because I hadn't seen my friend in a while and she was sharing some information I wanted to hear about.

[Parche]

15. 3 Ways are awesome

You should have invited them in....:woohoo: :woohoo: :rofl::rofl: :rofl:

:hi:

[LaraMN]

16. Ew! Even if I were single, I would not have been interested.

I don't dig twenty-year-old boys.

:scared:

[malta blue]

17. well you know...

You are kinda HAWT and those little boys just couldn't help themselves.

:rofl::rofl:

Great story, as usual :hi:

[LaraMN]

20. Hey you!

How are things? How's little MB?

[malta blue]

23. things are going well.

I assume Little MB is fine - she's been at summer camp for three weeks now and I have received two single sentenced letters the first week and that is it :shrug:

I guess she is having fun :rofl:

I will be seeing her this weekend. :pals:

And the MN kids - how are they?

[LaraMN]

24. She's at camp? Sweet liberation!

I bet you miss her like crazy!

The MNkids are awesome. Jack has learned to name colors, which is big for him. Now if he would call me "mommy" instead of "YAraaaah!" I would be very pleased!

[malta blue]

26. Some nights I just don't know what to do with myself....

This week Mr MB is out of town on business and I am all alone every night with nothing but the dog and a bottle of wine :toast:

I don't have to cook.

I don't have to clean.

I don't have to do ANYTHING :bounce::bounce:

[arcadian]

19. You might be a MILF if...

Is this a new Jeff Foxworthy bit or something?

:hide: :rofl:

[LaraMN]

21. Ack! There's a middle-age-complex -inducing label!

Between that and my friend insisting that I AM a "soccer mom", because I DO have a kid in soccer, I may have an identity crisis in short order.

[Midlodemocrat]

32. Just remember to have your midlife crisis.

I apparently forgot to have one and missed out on the cabana boy and the covertible.

[kay1864]

35. *ahem* Totally called it, a year ago....

:hi:

(and who's her first minion? Why, it's jasonc! :headbang: )

22. Subtract 5 to 7 years from each of their ages.

That's the rule. What a couple of lovesick lotharios.

[mcctatas]

25. Good Job!!!!

I was in a bar with my brother and some of his friends, a young guy walks up to me and says "You are so hot", to which I replied "How old are you, 12?". Not only was his opening line a little clunky, he also looked as if he only had a passing acquaintance with the need to shave. Where were these guys when I was 21 and single (oh and drunk and desperate;) )

[LaraMN]

27. Bwahaha!

It makes you wonder if that approach actually ever works on anyone. It probably does; that's the pathetic part!

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

31. ouch

great smackdown from a bad line.

I don't think I've ever tried a line like that.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. I got news for you darlin.

I STILL get hit on at the pool bar here and I am nowhere near as cute as you.

Men are desperate. :rofl:

[LaraMN]

29. You know what I love?

When MrLaraMN gets hit on.
I just sit back, watch, and laugh while he squirms. And I don't come rescue him, either; it's way too funny to watch.

[Midlodemocrat]

30. OMG. Mr.Midlo gets hit on all the time.

In fact, his getting hit on factor went exponential when we got married and he had a ring on.

:rofl:

I don't always wear my rings, and I've noticed I'm far more likely to get hit on when I AM wearing them. What pigs. :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

33. what finally made them go away?

if Mr. LaraMN couldn't do the trick?

[ghostsofgiants]

34. Does that make them bizarro cougars or something?
