I'm a Lucky Woman

A few weeks ago, a gentleman from Morocco added me on facebook. I'm the generous sort that will add someone on facebook as long as they don't look like a sexy spambot named Jessica, but I'll generally delete them if I don't really know them and they don't try to say why they added me after a few weeks.

Anyway, today he messaged me and apparently thinks I'm a woman because my profile picture is of Helen Mirren. He asked if I was married, then told me he was searching for a bride. Being the sort of person I am, I decided to go along with it and see what a Moroccan facebook friend could offer a future bride. Here is the life he promised me.

  • We would live a comfortable life, but not in the United States. I tried to get him to buy a house in the Hamptons but he didn't know where that was. I settled for Cleveland, but he seemed reticent. I think he may not be allowed in the U.S....
  • He told me I would bear him at least 10 children. He assured me he would still love me even after my body had been destroyed by over 10 childbirths.
  • He told me I would be his only wife (I wasn't sure if he believed in polygamy, so I thought it best to check. You can never be too careful).
  • He never answered me about whether or not I could hire servants, including a maid and pool-boy.
In the end, he decided we were ill-matched because I had never heard of a dish called Tajen and would therefore not be able to cook it for him.

I think it's definitely for the best that it didn't work out.

Also, he must be quite delusional if he thinks Dame Helen Mirren is going to be bearing anyone 10 children.

that's exactly what I was going to say. I mean, she's definitely a lovely woman, but you'd be lucky to get a litter out of her at this age. Snickers on the other hand... well, I'd like to get a litter out of her.
