The Sweet Husband

The SH meets a Transgender

we are getting up there in years, and add to that we don't get out a whole lot and a lot of things have changed in the world since we were young and rambunctious and thought we knew everything.

The sweet husband is pretty set in his ways, but he can be tolerant when the thing you expect him to be is a complete and total ass. He accepts things and people the way they are, although it may take him awhile to realize that there is even anything to accept.

But today, today was just fricking priceless and I so wish I could have had a video camera so that you all could see.

We had taken his older sister for an echocardiogram, we three went out to lunch, we took her home and went to a perfectly normal place, Academy Sporting Goods for him to look for something. After we had walked all over the store , we sat down on a bench to rest a bit before starting out to the car.

A beautiful young lady, well dressed, VERY well made up, walked by us a few times, then sat down on some kind of exercise machine that was close to us,and remarked to my husband that she thought this was the machine she was going to buy.

Her voice sounded a lot like Barry White, my husband's voice also sounds a lot like Barry White.

He looked at her, smiled and said that looks like a good one, looked at me, and opened his mouth. I held my finger up to my mouth in a hush motion and shook my head no, for him to say nothing.

She kept talking to him, I turned facing the other direction because he was looking more and more puzzled. finally, I turned around because I heard him say, Ma'am I need to ask you a question.

I said, Randy, in a low voice, he looked at me, looked at her, looked at me, looked at her. He said to her, why do you think you need that expensive machine, whatever you are doing is working.

She replied thank you sir, and because I know you want to ask and your wife won't let you, yes, I was born a man.

I thought the SH was going to pass out, roflmao. He said, my God, man, I never thought of that, I thought you might have throat cancer.

Then as we walk away, and remember, he's deaf and won't wear hearing aids, so he talks so loud you can hear him in the next county, he tells me, you knew she was a man, and you let me sit there and talk to him for 10 minutes, what the hell?  Quietly, I tell him, if you had asked her for a date, I would have told you she was a man.

First he turned white, then he turned red, then you could have heard that laugh for at least a mile, and he said, Mama if I had asked her for a date, you would have beat his ass, then you would have beat mine.

I said, yep, I would, but I might have let you go out with him first, just so you would see what running around on me does for you.
