Teeny Flirting on the Subway

This morning on the subway: cute girl separates from her giggling gaggle, and plops down on the chair beside me. She is quite pretty: young, black, mid to late teens. She smiles and says, “Hi!” — almost as though greeting a five-year old.

I grin back. “Hi,” I say with mock shyness.

“So how old are you?” she asks, still smiling. This is beyond flirting!

My grin is even wider. “I’m twenty-six.”

Her eyes as big as dinner plates. “Oo-okay, you too old!”

“I sure am!” And I laugh heartily.

As I get off at my stop, she has rejoined the giggling gaggle. She waves at me through the closing doors. “Bye, boyfriend!”

I’m tempted to respond, “Bye, pootie-pie!” But I just give my most winning smile and head for school, only one thought running through my head: Yaks, malandi!

    The good news, my friend, is that you look young for your age. And that’s always a good thing.

    The bad news is that you’re going to have to go around the U.S. with a sign saying “I’m 26! I’m 26!” hanging around your neck if you want to picked up by pretty girls within our age range. Heheh! Just kidding!

    Why is it you get hit on by giggling school girls and I get propositioned by hookers? Is it my deodorant…or lack thereof?

    LOL Raf!

    It’s the Ordoveza charm, I tell you! The Ordoveza charm!

    His name was Brownpau

    He is a hottie

    No colored feathers in his hair,

    not a loose thread anywhere

    He looks like Barry

    a lot less scary

    It’s not his fault he looks so great

    Must be a Filipino trait

    And then the girls just stare

    He’s none too loose for wear

    He may not know the tricks

    After all, he’s 26

    At the Copa (Co!)

    Copacabana…

    ganns, you are now officially on my list of lyricist heros!

  14. ganns says:

    God bless you, Valerie! ^^,

    I also repented for making fun of Pau. I, too, know what it’s like to get mistaken for a cultural icon (albeit a Filipino one). If I had a buck for every time someone called me L.A. Lopez, I’d have a lot more to give in tithes.

    I’m so adding that song to my “praise for Brownpau.com” section.

  16. ganns says:

    I’m honored, Pau. =p
