My Mom used to say to my bald Dad, "Grass doesn't grow on cement!" 😂

She said: "Bob was charismatic: he was a beacon, a lighthouse, he was also a black hole."
He said: "Right from the start I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was the most erotic thing I’d ever seen. She was fair skinned and golden haired, full-blood Italian. The air was suddenly filled with banana leaves. We started talking and my head started to spin."

"In addition, just because you are sitting next to someone you don’t know on a bus or airplane, that doesn’t give you any right to talk to that person, even if he or she is reading a book you once read."
Good point.
