Mom's Night Out

Last night I went out with my good friend who is a busy single mother. She rarely gets to go out anymore since she owns her own business & chases after a 2-year-old. We were heading to an event and about to leave the subway station when a man jumped in front of us, passionately expressing how good we looked. We ignored and walked around him but he put his arms out in an attempt to blockade us. It was a pitiful attempt because we just walked around him with our heads down. We made it to the turnstiles without any physical contact with the man but he seemed to behave as though OUR behavior was inappropriate! Yelling, "Hey! What I just told you you're beautiful and you're just going to walk away!? What the..."

I actually felt really bad because it was hard enough to get my friend out of the house that night. Some men are senseless! Later at this party which was filled with fashion, media & finance types, my friend was accosted in a somewhat more acceptable way though it was equally annoying. I don't care whether the guy is wearing a suit or rags - show some respect to the moms of the world - all of us for that matter!
