My Father and My Wife, Carla
It's incredible how he can notice the smallest of details. If she's had her eyebrows waxed, or is wearing a new dress, he'll comment. Also, he's turned into a bit of a dirty old man. He'll compliment her on her "amazing figure," and he loves to see her in a short skirt. I find it all a bit shocking. I don't think he said anything even vaguely sexual my entire life. Carla says we should get a Hooters girl to come over once a week and read him the newspaper.
