Side story on that... took D's to the mall to meet W. W and MIL signed them up for dance classes (on my night without consulting me BTW) and they needed shoes etc. Of course the only reason I was involved was to pay my half.. see above. OM was there with his kids, but he stayed out of the picture.. it was actually kind of funny.. we were leaving to head to the playland and W said "That's where they are!" I decided to take them to the carousel at the food court. On the way she shouts "They are there now!!" So we went to the playland instead!
While at the playland, these two women sat next to me.. now the one was GORGEOUS. Single, but from the sounds of the conversation, she's dating someone. This is where the nice guy in me drops interest. Need to change that. Anyway.. D5 comes over and whispers to me "Daddy.. she's beautiful".. I was trying to get D3's shoes on so we could go potty (that's where you know you have kids and are getting older.. potty is now the word for bathroom.. even with adults.. funny in a bar!) She then asks me if she can tell the woman.. I was embarrassed and frustrated so I said "Sure".. so sure enough D5.. "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!!" The woman took it nicely and said "Thank you.. you're beautiful too." I had to have been 3 shades of red. I can only imagine what she was thinking... "This dude just had his daughter hit on me for him"
The conversations between her and her friend following this were decidedly more about her BF.
