My eighteen year-old boy just got home from a night out with his buddies. Nice kids, really; they come and go from our house as if it were some sort of teen center, and that's okay by me. I don't like my chirren hanging out with Unknowns; it's not that I'm a bitch about it, but hey, it's my job to be protective.
I'd saved the eighteener a plate of food from dinner; fried chicken, collard greens, blackeyed peas, macaroni and cheese, and homemade buttermilk biscuits, topped off with sweet Orange Blossom tea. He thanked me as I handed it to him, but I detected just a note - just a note - of the stinkeye in his gaze. That sort of thing doesn't pass unmentioned in my house, even when you're eighteen and most especially when I'm serving you a plateload of love.
"What crawled up your ass and died, boy?" I asked him.
"Nothing," he replied, giving me that strange look again.
"Bullshit," said I. "What's the matter?"
He burst out, "Chris said...well, Chris said that you were a MILF. And it pissed me off. I almost kicked his butt."
Believe me when I tell you that I threw back my head and roared, laughing so hard I almost spilled the boy's tea. Eighteener didn't find it amusing in the slightest. "What??" he kept asking, giving me that look. "What???"
"Son, when you're my age, you'll understand. You tell Chris I said thanks. And don't kick his ass. He can't help being blessed with impeccable taste."
Yes, there is an extra little bit of swagger in the Queenie behind tonight. Can you blame me? I feel like Stacy's Mom. Awesome!

Posted by: Margi at November 7, 2005 03:07 AMHELL YEAH!!!!! I have had some moments like that with my eldest stepson. Once, someone asked him what his girlfriend's name was and we both almost died. The next time, someone thought I was his sister. Not as creepy..just as flattering!

Oh, and I've always thought you were a real milf, too.
Posted by: Circa Bellum at November 7, 2005 04:10 PMAwwwww! Wasn't that sweet of Chris. You're now a MILF. What a rare honor.
You got the title? Then swagger away.

My 18 yo daughter's friend told me I was a MILF Saturday night. It's rather flattering. lol
Posted by: hcky at November 9, 2005 10:57 AMI have been called a milf twice recently, first by the 27 year old I dated immediately after my divorce, and next by a 25 year old in my office. They are on the old side, compared to what you're talkin' about, but I'm taking it. I lurve being called that. Own it, girl.
