French 101


   

   The only other person in the room under thirty was a fiftyish guy, so when the professor made a snotty comment about menopausal widows learning a few phrases for their trip to France on their husband's insurance money. it was pretty obvious I was the subject of his rant.
Short and skinny, with a ratty dishwater blonde ponytail hanging down his back, this snotty little prick obviously had some serious mommy issues.
I shrugged it off; this wasn't the first time some jackass made an issue of a woman my age sitting in a college classroom.
In my fifties, it wasn't hard to know why. All the crap a lot of college professors pull in the classroom trying to impress students with how sophisticated and worldly wise they are fall flat on their face when someone who really has been there and done that is sitting there looking at them. The act doesn't wash and they know it.
 The next day he decided we were going to have a getting to know you session.
