[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, I had this odd experience happen the other day and wanted to run it by DCUM. My DW was out of town, and I promised the kids I'd get them some ice cream. Candidly, DW has been on a health kick recently and doesn't want me to give the kids sweets. Personally, ice cream is my weakness, and I regularly stop by our neighborhood ice cream shop for a scoop on my way home from work. DW is none the wiser. I got the kids' orders for flavors and left them playing their video game and drove to the ice cream shop. I parked near the side entrance because it was more convenient. Man, I was in my happy place when I got inside. Probably bounded up to the counter like a giddy child.

After a second of starting to place my order, I noticed my SIL in the shop. I was mortified that I hadn't seen her first, and was worried that she'd rat me out to DW for buying sugary treats for the kids. But I stopped by and said hello to her and our niece, although SIL was sort of off-putting, glaring at me like she was suspicious of something. She didn't invite me to sit and join them. Maybe I read too much into the situation, but I got the vibe that she didn't want to chat. By this point, there was a bit of a line, so I plopped down at an adjacent table next to the store owners' kid and chatted with him for a few minutes -- like I said, ice cream is my weakness and I've frequented this store, so I know the employees. (I'm also a really extroverted guy, even my suspicious SIL would admit that.)

By the time I looked up, there was no more line and SIL had left. Had she wanted to talk, she would have (believe me, she is one of those "up in your business" people), so I guess I read her tone correctly when I didn't sit down with them. Anyways, I got my ice cream and left. The kids were happy.

By the way, although my marriage isn't perfect, it would be crazy -- would it not? -- for me to carry on an affair by visiting the very public workplace of my mistress? Why would I want to visit her during working hours anyways? And wouldn't it be quite odd if I had introduced myself to and was familiar with this mistress's family (multiple members of whom were inexplicably and bizarrely present at the ice cream shop), including her young child? And to do all of this in the same town where DW's family lives, at an establishment that I know SIL and her family frequents? That would be so indiscreet that not even DCUM would suspect me of having an affair, right?[/quote]
Only he didn’t order anything, so there’s that.[/quote]
