things we do for love

Our story begins with a night of drinking, dancing and karaoke at Jake's, our local gay disco in Olympia. Their is a big group of us. We are all having a great time. Thomas does as he does and starts dancing/hitting on my Mother. This innocent act starts as, more or less, a joke in his mind. Though further dancing and drinking lead Thomas to believe he "really has a chance with her". He starts saying things like "I think you're really pretty" and "I sure am having a good time with you tonight, Cindi". At one point, Head even asks for advice from a patron in the bathroom, telling him the situation and asking what he thinks of it. Our local 'Dan Savage' tells Head that it is completely ethical as long as he talks with me first. It was later revealed that this advice was unnecessary. Unfortunately for Thomas, fortunately for the universe, he is shot down by my Mother. Turns out that my Mother has no interest outside of having a good time with her son and company for the night. In Thomas' defense, my mother had a boyfriend at the time.

Crushed but, not defeated our protagonist finds another lady that half-accepts his advances of romancing on the dance floor. This lady also happens to have the old-enough-to-be-Todd's-Mom flare about her. All is well for Thomas until lady starts dancing with another young male. At one point, "May I cut in", Thomas asks. "No" or some deviation thereof is uttered by lady. Head's natural reaction, understandably, is to smash a drink glass on the floor.

As the music ends for the night so does all of Thomas' aspirations of hooking up with an older, more established lady. With his head held high, Thomas yells at his male defeater "dont be surprised if you find a dick in her pants" as they walk out the door.
