Yesterday I saw something in a parking lot that teetered between skeeving me out and making me wonder. It was a (heterosexual) couple standing there making out like they were 16 year olds, only they weren’t. In fact, I knew the girl because we went to high school together 20 YEARS AGO. She’s never really grown up and the last time I talked to her a few months ago after not seeing her for decades I couldn’t believe how immature she is for being in her late 30s and having a kid. All she talked about was how hot “guys” find her and asked if I wanted to go with her and her friends out clubbing the upcoming weekend. WTF. First, I don’t go “out clubbing.” Second, she’s not hot. And I’m a dog who can find pretty much any babe under 60 attractive. Anyway, the guy who’s mouth she was inspecting with her tongue was at least pushing 50 with the middle age spread working for him pretty well and a head full of gray hair. It was like seeing your dad standing there making out with some skanked out over the hill tramp.

But it got me wondering. Is something wrong with them for being so indiscreet or is something wrong with me for finding it creepy? Am I getting old to the point where the things I used to do at some point in my life offend me now? Am I so jaded by the years that I can’t appreciate “young” love, and if I am why doesn’t seeing the (real) kids at the bus stop I see trying to suck each other’s lips off not bother me? Would I find it less annoying if the participants were more attractive (and the girl wasn’t a known idiot)? Why is this incident spawning so many dumb questions?
