So, there's this picture, see, and...

It’s of my freind’s son.

I started putting this in IMHO, to solicit opinion, but since I started writing, I decided on my own, but I still wanna share.

Background: My friend B, met and married C about 14 years ago. Second marriage for both, she had a young son, we’ll call him E.

About 6 years ago, B formally adopted E. About 2-3 years ago, B and C divorced. E is now a freshman at Big State University. He and the Bus Kid have always gotten along, but aren’t close. Bus Wife thinks E is “a hottie” and should be pursued, Bus Kid, not so much.

C places E on a pedestal. B is realistic and honestly closer to E than the kid’s mom is. He is a nice kid, funny, whip-smart and all.

C believes E does no wrong, and spends his off hours in soup kitchens, or rescuing kittens from impending doom on railroad tracks.

Recently, Bus Kid is perusing her Facebook freind’s pictures, and says “Oh holy crap dad, look at this”.

She is correct. Oh holy crap.

She copy/pasted the picture to me. It is essentially this:

E, reclined on a chaise lounge, the type you would recline in if there were a naked stripper resting on your lap, back against you, with your hands firmly holding her perky yet sizeable breast-al regions, while she merrily raises one leg so that the camera has a view all the way to Madagascar.

Yeah, this one would probably have B shaking his head and snickering “damn kid”, but C? C would instantly convulse and die.

This picture now sits as an attachment in my e-mail. 99% of me says delete it. 1% of me says save it, she looks pretty hot…um, I mean find a discreet way to see if:

  • B wants to see what his kid is up to while he’s paying Mucho Dinero for him to be away at BSU.
  • C should know.

I mean, I like the kid so I don’t want to hurt him, so likely I’ll keep it in a folder in the e-mail where I can occasionally open it and snicker and say “damn kid”.

Maybe I’m just confused, but it seems to me that you’re saying that “E,” who is the college freshman, was photographed with a naked stripper in his lap. Is that correct?

If that’s the case, why should his parents have to know anything? He’s an adult, and I don’t see why that’s any of their business.

If it’s not, maybe you could clarify for my (admittedly) befuddled mind.

No that’s about it. I originally wondered if they NEEDED to know, but decided while I was wondering. I agree, there’s no big deal here.

None of their business. Even though they’re paying for school, they don’t own him. His mother doesn’t need to “see” his sexuality any more than he needs to “see” her. It’s bad enough we KNOW, fercrissakes! :wink:

Hey! We agree on something! I imagined myself and that being my son, and the last thing I’d want to know is something like that.

Still it’s too nice a picture to just delete. :cool:

However, you may want to show it to Bus Wife, to get her off Bus Kid’s case about dating this guy!

Real-ly.

I’d say throw it into the trash, because it’s really none of your business either, but hey, that’s me.

First off, due to other circumstances, Bus Kid’s not inclined to date anyone about now, but we did show the wife, who promptly removed him from the list.

I KNOW! Whaddaya know about that! :wink:

My friend found a picture of a mutual friend in the whole leather hood, zipper mouth, bondage get-up. We’re still bleaching our brains on that one. It would be 10 times worse if it was family.
