father figure
My landlord stopped in yesterday, to pick up the rent. He is a very good man. Wife, three kids, works hard, cares about his people–me included.
When I moved here, I was in pretty fucked up situation, and he let me in–at that time I almost saw him as a father figure, and angel and a savior. He is kind, yet he is also not bad looking and in great shape for a father figure. He looks sort of like Shel Silverstein only a bit younger and not quite a hippy free spirit.
Anyway, he has this ability of making me talk to him, telling him thing I normally would not tell an average landlord. Yesterday I ended up telling him about my recent run ins with the law. About the DUI and my speeding ticket. He looked at me shook his head and said…
“I think I need to put you over my lap and give you a few good solid spankings.”
Hmmm. I don’t know quite how I would have read that, do you think he is joking? He sounds like a very supportive guy and you needed to vent, we all need someone to confide in and if this works then that is a good thing.
Don’t you wish….
I’m sure he is just being the flirty landlord, but still, it is good fodder for the fantasy mill….
Suze: thanks for dropping in and commenting. Yeah, I was a bit surprised. And almost said something flirty and inappropriate, but held back, surely do not need to be taking up with the land lord.
advizor54: yes, he is a flirt, he is Latin to, so there is always kisses at greeting and goodbyes, hug; but spank, well that’s a new one. He did sort of catch me off guard though with the statement.
I simply LOVE the thought of that. Except, I get to be the one doing the spanking of course.
About the late Shel Silverstein…whenever I’m shelving his books, can’t help thinking that his jacket photos end up frightening the very children his books are meant to delight.
