She started talking so fast I didn't understand half of what she was saying. She asked where I lived, I vaguely said, "in the area". She suggested we immediately become great friends and hang out each day.
She asked what I did on an "average" day. I didn't know what she meant but I told her we try to have an outing each day such as going to the park. She said that she loved parks and wanted to know which one I went to and on what days. I told her I just rotate around, I never have one in mind before I set out (lie!).
She wanted us to meet up tomorrow. For a playdate. All day. I told her I had to take my son to get his first speech therapy session. She told me she would take my daughter for me, she always wanted a girl anyway.
That was the word that freaked me out. "TAKE" my daughter. I told her I already had plans but thanks for the offer. She wanted my phone number and email address. I told her I don't have an email address that I check regularly and I since we just moved here, I don't have a phone yet either.
She rapidly scribbled down her information and told me to contact her as soon as possible because we MUST get together.
I smiled, thanked her and told her I had to get going...now. She gave me a hug and watched me walk away.
I know mom's need friends. I know twin mom's need friends. But I don't want to be her friend.
Umm, Single White Female? I guess more like Married Twin Mommy, but still . . . weird!
ReplyDeletePoor lady. Could you imagine her living in FL?
ReplyDeleteif she lived in FL she would have been just as lonely as me...and I still would not have been her friend.
