I thought about it.
I thought about keeping it to myself.
Then it was just between me and my ever so protective family. (Yeah right, protective. Example: "Hey guess what happened! Creepy experience!"
"Lisa, you're never going out by yourself ever again ever!"
Three seconds later:
"Hey can you go out for a long walk down dark alleys and get us this very urgent item of snack food?")
Anyway,
I was walzing along minding my own business. When suddenly i heard an abrupt and hurried:
"Excuse me!" The man nervously looked down and then up again. I expected him to hand me money and ask me if it was mine. I had an answer ready for him, but then he said something else:
"Are you single?"
I gave him my best un rehearsed look of shock and amusement. He was an older man, stocky and olive looking.
"Well, I think you're attractive!"
Oh no was my look. And here all i stopped for was money.
"It's not for me," He hurriedly confides.
"It's for my son."
It probably wasn't the best idea, but i grinned then. I was having mental pictures of a younger image of this man being offered women by his Dad. It must have encouraged him and he pressed on.
"The problem is, my son is in Israel."
I grinned much, much bigger. And he must have taken that as a very good sign because he went on some more.
"We want him back here! So i had an idea. I want to select an Australian girl. You ARE Australian right?"
"Oh yes." Or something. What? I wanted to hear the rest.
"I would pay for your flight and then you could try to convince him with money, oh (casual shrug) 10,000 dollars or so."
I was restraining laughter by now. "Oh really?"
"Yeah, so do you think you could convince him?"
"No i'm sorry, i wouldn't be able to. I think you'll have to try to select another Australian girl."
He went on about how he felt silly for asking. I told him it was hillarious and i don't think it consoled him any.
He left with a 'thank you' and a "I think you'll make someone a really good daughter in law one day."
I was so consoled.

OMG! this is too much... i'll never go to Australia, just in case women hazard me, molest me and run after me in the streets to see if i would marry their daughters...

i mean to say " ask you" not sak you, sorry, that's not japanese or chinese:P it's just a typo, so don't put your minds to work too hard in search for the meaning of the word "sak" :p

"It's not for me," He hurriedly confides.
"It's for my son."
