My mother and I went out for ice cream yesterday.
“This is going to undo everything I’ve done. Ugh. This is so not the time for me to… Hello? Are you listening?”
“What? Yes. Of course I’m listening.”
“No you’re not. Ha! You’re looking at that guy over there.”
“What? I am not.”
“Yes, yes you are. I just caught my mother checking out a man.”
“Whatever. You did not.”
“Mom, he’s a little young for you, don’t you think?”
“There is no age limit on looking.”
“Oh, so you’re looking at younger men now? Oh, wow. My mother is a cougar.”
“What?! What is a cougar?”
“A cougar is you. You are looking at men in my age group.”
“Well, first, I am not. Second, I could if I wanted to.”
“Oh my god. My mother is a cougar. And confident about it. I’m going to need more ice cream. My mother is a cougar and I’m eating ice cream to relieve the stress. This is what my life has come to.”
“You’re so dramatic.”
Essentially Me says:
Ha! That’s hilarious … maybe your mom could scope out some guys for you!

Mel Heth says:
You need to hook her up with Dingo’s mom! I say all’s fair in age and looking…if a hot 18 year old walks past me, I will surely check him out. So I don’t fault your mom for gazing longingly at a late twenty-something piece of meat. We all deserve a little eye candy now and then!

I was just about to say what Mel Heth said. I’m trying to get my Mom out there. She could learn some lessons from your Mom — right now, I can’t even get my mom to look! They could form a Cougar Club!!

I think I’d need more than ice cream if I heard my mom say stuff like that. I mean she might kid about it, but to be serious would be another thing. Now I finally understand the whole “cougar” label. Thank you.
