My mother usually wears both her wedding band and Dad’s (which she got refitted), thus announcing her status as a widow. While I can’t imagine while anybody would find her sexually attractive, mostly because she’s got a belly that would make Santa feel anorexic, apparently a lot of gents her own age +/-20 do. She’s 66, with good hair, good teeth and good skin. One of the lines we’ve rescued her from:
“So tell me, how does a beautiful lady like you happen to be all alone? Have all the other men in the world gone blind?”
The others were, in general, less suave. And there’s been a couple times when we were at the movies and she asked me to trade seats; both times the “gent” on her other side was being less than gentlemanly with the mother but didn’t dare try the daughter.
