Back when Lee & I were dating and early in our marriage - nearly 20 years ago !! - his hair was very blond and curly, and he wore it longer than he does now.

We were sitting in a booth in a restaurant facing each other, and a waitress approached us coming towards me, so she saw my face and the back of Lee's head.

The waitress registered the curly blond hair and the two small hoop earrings in his left ear (he was also a skinny lad back then) as she approached, and the first words out of her mouth were "what can I get for you ladies today?".

Then she glanced at Lee and the poor woman looked absolutely horrified when she realized her mistake.

Lee & I burst out laughing and I reassured her that his hair was so beautiful (damn him) that it was an easy mistake to make.

This actually happened on two separate occasions.
