Speaking of the the Indian and his squaw, I played a trick on N tonight that will give you a laugh.
N and I went out to dinner. Near us was seated, alone at his table, a rather attractive man. (I barely noticed him, actually.)
Before we were served, I saw someone I knew and left our table briefly to exchange a word with her. When I returned a minute or two later, N remarked (I should mention that N is a rather jealous husband (and that I wouldn't have it any other way)) that the gentleman across the way had been paying inordinate (in N's view) attention to me, in spite of, N claimed, being entirely aware that N had to be observing this untoward (translation: perfectly normal) behavior.
We began talking about other things. But I waited for a certain strategic moment-- when N was looking directly at me, and the man across the way was looking safely in the other direction-- and I made a very lewd face in the direction of the handsome gentleman. It involved a fixed stare with a slow wink and some suggestive lip-licking.
Well, as a practical joke, it was highly effective. Before I began laughing, N had the most amazed and aghast look on his face!
A teeny bit mean, but funny.
I should have saved it for April 1. |
