(28,795 posts)+Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian Betty, gotta tell ya, you remind me of my high school World History teacher(forgive me but she was a stoned FOX) and a bit of a snob cuz she was edjadicated in Frawnce and she wrote in this script writing that just reeked of, 'hey, can I help if I'm way better and smarter than all of you put together,' but don't get me wrong, she wasn't offensive or anything, just an obviously protected person from day one of her life
But I was so impressed cuz snobbish though she was, I guess, at the orphanage I was using clippers to trim grass from the public sidewalk outside the wall, and Lo I see her crossing the street prancing towards me, smiling and making me feel extra special that she would even bother to acknowledge me outside of class. She was waiting for her car to be repaired, yep it was a Peugot and the only garage in town for them. I was 15 at that time, and she was, oh, I'd say early 20s. She used to single me out and talk, yep small talk, OMG, I felt one day I'd just melt intothe floor, she made me feel so privileged and wonderful, and it mattered then cuz, we, from the home and all with major dysfunctionals.
McGuire was her name and she liked to toss out to class speaking her French, lotsa profanity, oddly enough, she was like mischevious, and man she sounded so sexy, and I tried to not think like that...but Biology ruled seemed like, mentally anyway. Weird was she was married to some really goofy guy(sorry, I'm likely a bit unfair on that cuz I wanted her all to myself)I mean how could I stay on the string of her good wishes to me with him occupying her attention. I don't think she felt pity or anything, but she offered if there was anything I needed and stuff, to let her know, she was just my first really older type more mature female, dare I say closest ever female friend, never a lover but we did talk and stuff and she was fond of teaching me what females were about and all, it's like she knew I was interested in the fairer sex, but really naive.
After that year, in Summer 1966 she moved back to France but before she left she really put it on thick about my great qualities and potentials and any girl would love to be with me as a friend or any kind of contact, wow, talk about inflating my ego, I suppose it's why I had a crush on her, though unneeded and I was really sad to lose her friendship, but I will never forget her, as in another I was crushed when she was gone, cuz she was like the best friend I ever had, and she made it clear she'd never place me in a compromising position to do with much other than light hugs, she was my friend. I wish everyone, guys at least could have had a close friend like her, we talked about everything.
She was also really the smartest person I ever knew, and after a bit, she didn't come off as primadonna-ish. I hated guys and their catcalls when they saw us talking.She was above all that Holla. BTW,what's a vajeene?And how'd I miss that part? I will view again for sure. Betty you are a laugh riot. Thanks from the bottom of my vajeene...uh, do I or can I have a vajeene?lol
