Having kids around the house is fun. I like kids a lot

and have made it a point to welcome my kids' friends to hang out here. There's several in my family room right now

watching a movie and gossiping. But a prudent man, in this society, stays in another room and away from them. Or at

least makes sure there are several in the room when he is there. You'd be amazed the things they talk about now

days. They've all known me for years so rarely worry about my being around and I hear a lot of their gossip. To say

they shock me is a mild understatement. Now, they are all legally adults but that is still a kid too me and I've

known most of them since they were in elementary school. To touch one of them would be more than a little disgusting

to even comtemplate.

I'm not tempted either. Yuck is a very good word.


You know this

conversation just got me to thinking about this all over again. Its been on my mind on and off and bugging the shit

out of me.

The thing is, the 3 teenage girls I was talking about, they were trying so hard to get my attention,

constantly waving at me, ect. Then finally when I started out for the store I had to walk by them, they were all

starting at me then one of them says "you're sweet".

And I completely ignored them. I was thinking along the

lines of what you just said, a prudent man stays away from them, and that is what I was doing.

But these young

girls, trying so hard to get my attention and I just ignored them like they were nothing. I keep feeling really bad

about that, like I really did something to hurt thier feelings, and thats the last thing I wanted to do.

I just

feel really bad about doing that and I wish now I wouldnt have ignored them like that, its been on my mind alot

lately. Woundt have hurt for me to at least say hi or wave back at least, instead of hurting them like that. I just

thought I was doing the right thing, didnt know what their intentions were.

I know if their parents were aware

of it they might get pissed, but I dont ever want to hurt any young lady's feelings like that again. What the hell

does it hurt for me to at least go talk to them, I think I can be tactful enough if they do anything, by asking them

what they would want with a guy that is probably older than their parents, I think that would put things back in

prospective.
