So, the wife and I are chaperoning a field trip of my toddlers and their class going to the market. I introduce myself to another parent, 

  • Me: Hi, I'm Morgan
  • Her: Oh... I know.

? So I must know this chick, but I'm drawing a blank. I know a lot of people. After I spend a few moments with a blank smile racking the old memory banks, she says

  • Her: You never called. 

A few more seconds pass, and it hits me. She's not a hippy chick with long dirty blonde hair and hemp jewelry anymore, but I am able to place her as I girl I met when I was part of the local music scene about eleven years ago. We were friendly, and she was kind enough to engage in the physical act of love with me a few times before I guess I got distracted and I guess I never called.

So maybe I was a bit of a cad at 22... but it's been over a decade, and we're both parents now. Does she still harbor a grudge? Was that still so close to the top of her mind it was the first thing she said?!? Seriously?! 

And in my defense, she changed a lot so I didn't recognize her, and I still wear the same unfashionably long sideburns and jorts I've always worn. 

We didn't exchange any other words, and I'm fine with that... but really? Really!?
