His Dad Had A Missing Leg!

"I can't date him!!!".... Why you ask?... "Well, his dad had a missing leg."  That's all that I could think about when I was 19 years old.   My dad would say, "Desiree, what's wrong with this boy, Does he have a crooked nose?"   Well dad, I can honestly say I married a boy with a crooked nose 25 years ago and bonus, he was and still is.... POOR.  I don't know what I was thinking when I was 19, only that I couldn't date this boy who's dad had a missing leg.   I just couldn't wrap my pea brain around the fact that his dad had a missing leg.  I would think to myself, "What does his dad do all day???... Does he sit on the porch and watch cars go by?".... "Did I think the dad's missing leg would somehow rub off on me?...Did I think missing leg = poor?"... I was so particular back then.  I remember another boy I dated when I was 17 years old.  We went to the movies then we came back to my house.  I say dated, I shoud say it ended with the first date.   We were in my living room when this boy asked if he could get comfortable and take off his shoes.....TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES????..."This was our first date, you've got to be kidding me"... I thought.....TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES????...   I had spent 2 hours getting a "Farrah Flip" and my date wanted to take off his shoes.  Nope, No Way.... I never saw that boy again.  Let me tell you how much my taste in men have change.  I think Si from the tv show DUCK DYNASTY to be Good Looking.  And 30 years later I can now tell you that money & success turns me off.  If I want to hear a story, I want to hear the story of the beggar off the interstate that holds a sign that says, "Will Work For Food".  I have no desire to hear about your white collar acquistions or your white collar homes or your white collar cars or your white collar vacations.  YOU BORE ME!!!....I wonder what happened to the boy who's dad had the missing leg?"
