Me Sugar Mummy? Never!

“How about dinner, tonight,” he asked. And I was like, seriously?

“Are you asking me out, as in a date?” I was acerbated. “Because I am older than your mother.”

I might have as well have said I had landed from the sun because no one can go there, unless they went there at night like Africans who will do that according to Robert Mugabe.

“You have nice face, and eyes,” he said, undeterred. By this I knew he meant my bust and boobs.

Up until then the word “cougar” had never featured anywhere in my lexicon. I felt it was demeaning, and I laughed at the term.

I am deep into my thirties, and I am not a bachelorette because I dot a gold ring on my index finger, and trust me I wear it proudly. Anyone would be very blind not to notice that what glitters on my ring finger is actually gold cuffs.

He was on the verge of a boy and man, obviously barely out of his teens owing to the freckles on his face and lack of beards. I doubted if he had any hairs down there.

My kid is in kindergarten, how in hell would I be paying the freckled-faced boy’s college fees? What would his parents do?

And just for the record, that money that I would be brandishing in the face of a boy who has never bought a Gillette is my husband’s. I watched him sacrifice more than he should have to make both ends meet, and when the ends met he made sure they stayed that way. I will not just be a bitch; I will be an ingrate, stupid bitch.
