Let Us Eat Some Play Dough
Let’s eat some Playdough he says.
I had heard he was a fun date, but this was beyond fun.
Pretending to go along with it I ask, “What color?”
Red or Blue, he says.
I only have green and pink, I tell him.
He acts disappointed. Says he has to go.
His mother picks him up.
I call my girlfriend. Where do you say he lives?
At home.
With his mother?
With both parents.
Has he ever moved out?
Not that I know of.
This is the last time I let her set me up with a fun forty-eight-year-old.
