I recently started going out with a lady who lives near me. Very nice person and we have been getting on alright. I actually met her over the internet. She claims to be open minded, adventurous and willing to try anything once. Within reason.
So the other day I thought I'd bounce over to her house on my stilts to show off a bit. I'm getting quite good at them and thought maybe they would impress her. Not that I need to but it would be a laugh anyway. So as I'm getting up to her house I called her on her mobile and asked her to take a look outside the front of her house. As I bounced up to her door she turned bright red, slammed the door in my face and wouldn't let me in until I had taken them off because she was too embarassed to let anyone in her street see me going into her house with them on.
Is she nuts or what? What is embarassing about a set of jumping stilts? I don't get it. It's funny though because she is the first person I have met with them on who found them embarassing. She thinks they are something for kids and that it's silly for a 31 year old to be on them.
So much for open minded and adventurous. I told her that there would obviously be a lot of time this summer that we will be spending apart because once the summer really hits you'll be hard pressed to get me off my stilts. Shame though I was hoping for a girlfriend who would share my passion not be embarassed by it.
