My oldest son is a loyal fan of the musical group Queen. He can tell me almost anything I wish to know about them.
Unfortunately he was too young to go to a concert when Freddie Mercury was still alive. Still he is in contact with remaining members.
Because of his contact he was able to buy 4 tickets at a reduced price to a concert when Paul Rodgers was singing with them. He asked me to go and I agreed. My oldest granddaughter wanted to go so she and her father (my youngest son) used the other two tickets.
When we arrived we had four seats from the aisle on in. Normally I sit on the aisle in protector mode. My granddaughter was about 14 so she was not very tall. She asked if she could have the aisle seat so she could see.
A man who looked to be in his late 30's came in and had the seat in front of my granddaughter. He made a great show of taking off his jacket and trying to flirt with her. She was a young girl and not interested. She ignored him.
I watched him closely. He was looking for a conquest.
Her father also noticed as did her uncle. My youngest son moved to an empty seat behind his daughter. My oldest son had me change seats with him so he was next to his niece.
Dad just sat and glared at the man. Uncle stood with his arms crossed and a threatening look on his face.
The man began to squirm. Then he was sweating. Finally he could take no more. He grabbed his jacket from the back of his seat and left.
I think that pervert learned not to mess with our little girls.
I remember Ricky once told us that he liked Queen — Freddie Mercury in particular.
ReplyDeleteVery strange — my eldest son, who’s in his early thirties, is a fan of his too.
(I see, Ricky — or Ratty — is your eldest son.)
You are too clever. There are a lot of us who are fans.
DeleteI think that guy got the message loud and clear! I love Queen also. Richard sent me a tape from England during our days of letter writing. I thought they were great. Still do.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Unfortunately they are getting older as we all do.
DeleteGood for you and your family members to protect your granddaughter. That guy sure seemed like a creep and should have known better with male family members around.
ReplyDeleteThose types seem to know that a lot of little girls feel that their bodies are the only thing they have to offer. My granddaughter was not oblivious to him but she wanted to see the concert not pick up a man. She also knows that she is valued for all she is not as something to be used.
