I would never have impure thought relative to the girl, as I watched her grow up.

When i see the parents, my plan is to say that I have seen the teaser page.

I don't think it plausible that someone in the neighborhood would not have heard, and looked.

I'm not sure if i should say I didn't pay to see the shoot, as it might be a "protests too much" thing.

I think I will say, "she is pretty, she looks like ___- with no top on."

i think saying nothing could be seen as creepy.

Thoughts?

My daughter wanted a hamster more than anything. I have her on the weekends and told her that if she wants a hamster she would have to take care of it and it would be her responsibility, so her mother would have to get her one (which she did). Hamsty McFluffster (that was the name my crazy daughter gave the hamster) was a mean fucker. Bit my daughter every time she tried to pick him up. They moved his cage to the basement because of the smell and the little shit died of unknown causes.

My daughter was devastated, my ex told me. She couldn't even bring herself to tell me about the death on the phone. Later that day, I finally talked to her and asked her how she was feeling. She said, "Fine. I really loved Hamsty, but now he's gone." I asked her if she was going to get a new hamster and she said, "No way. Hamsters are mean." And that was that.

(What that has to do with your problem, I don't know. I just know these feelings of intense love for new pets* are often the same feelings of intense love for a new doll. It fades pretty fast and they move on to something else.)

*I concede that it's very different with long-time family pets.

I can't imagine her Dad or Mom would ask you about it, but if it comes up (heheh) a simple "Oh. Congratulations!" or "How Nice." is probably the way to go.

P.S. I probably whiffed, but c'est la vie.

P.P.S. Thanks RT for fixing my account.

A goddamn travesty, that typo. But hardly unusual considering the pompous blowhard who wrote the bloated screed. One can imagine endless ramblings from this long-winded jackass, and a poor, overworked editor scrambling to address an endless stream of appalling grammatical offenses.

At any rate, use this for your icon. It's what I would have done if I had thought of it first.

And once you've paid a vet bill, consider the cat yours.

In all seriousness, get the cat checked. Also think about the cat dung/small child issue. Cat feces can carry all sorts of things, including toxoplasmosis, which I managed to contract when I were but a lad. It led to retinal scarring, which (as I was informed many years later by an eye doctor as I quietly shat myself), had it been in a different location, could have blinded me in both eyes. Admittedly this is very rare and you have probably already thought of this, but still.

Also, stop putting your telephone number up in dodgy neighborhoods.

Mrs. NotBob has quite the figure. Almost as hot as Hank's neighbor's daughter.
