Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man
“And when she started talking, she really threw me because I could hear in her voice that she was mature, but she just didn’t look like she sounded. So I asked the lady how old she was; she said she was forty-two. Blew me away. I didn’t think she was a day older than thirty. Then I asked her how many kids she had.
“Five,” she said, smiling from ear to ear. “I’ve got three of my own, and I adopted two.”
Now I’m sitting here thinking, wow—that’s really slick.
She’s over age forty, she’...s taking care of not only the kids she gave birth to, but two more she took in out of the kindness and generosity of her heart, and she looks years younger than she really is—she’s really got it going on. Be clear: I wasn’t about to do anything with this information because guess what? I’m a happily married man—emphasis on happily. But some years ago, that conversation would have gone down a wholly different way, and it would not have involved me asking her anything about her kids, where she works, how she’s living—none of that.MoreLess
