Thread Name: BS: My angel is a center troll
Subject: RE: BS: My angel is a center troll
I had a similar experience a couple of years back. My father's youngest brother was only a few years older than me. When he got married at age 20 or so and brought his new wife to meet the family. She was short, cute, and my then 14 year-old self thought she was about the hottest thing that had ever been created. If there's some commandment about coveting thine uncle's wife, I broke it to pieces.
So, about two years ago, I'm hawking my pottery at an art show 400 miles from where I live, and this little dumpy woman walks into my booth, looks at the name on my sign, and asks for my father's name. I tell her and she informs me that she used to be married to his brother. Yes, it was my one-time aunt by marriage whom I'd had the hots for 45 years back. This woman was as round as she was tall and had a nose like W.C. Fields. Not exactly a troll. More like a cross between a troll and a dwarf, but without the beard.
