I went out last night to a club I'd only been to a couple of times, and not recently. I sit down at a table and order my usual beverage and start looking around to see what the girls are like. One of them is approaching me from the side, so I turn my head to see her, at which time we both freeze solid. It's my son's ex-girlfriend. In a very sheer nightgown. That displays/hides her assets quite nicely. The first thought that runs through my head? "Man, why'd he let her go?"
To the best of my knowledge, she wasn't dancing while they were going out; both of them were underage, so it doesn't seem likely, as anal as the clubs around here are about IDs.
After a few seconds, I managed to utter "awkward" out loud. She started to turn away, then came back and sat down. "Promise me you won't tell Jimmy?"
"I think that it's pretty much a given that I won't."
"Thanks."
The really awkward part? She and my wife still go shopping together every few months.
"Um, I'm not going to promise not to tell my wife if she asks, though."
"But you don't have to bring it up though, right?"
"Nope, but I'm not gonna lie to her."
"Ok, that's fine." She started to get up, but I stopped her, saying, "And I also promise not to come back in here while you're working here."
She at least smiled at that.
Strike one club off my list, even if not for any quality reason.
