Used in a sentence: "They say that to get a nickname is a sure sign that you are loved ... so I guess I'll embrace the local plus-sized hooker calling me Moon Man from now on."
First, I'm not body shaming nor am I mocking sex workers. I subscribe to the "love the body you have if it's what you want" and I don't deny anyone the right to make some spare change with some "strange". (Ooh ... maybe that should have been my wordplay for Wednesday ...)
And the reality is that I created this situation, seeing as how I pass this woman every Tuesday on my lunch walk on the southwest route, as she perches on an upside down crate outside of a convenience store in the less than desirable part of town. Last week, she was the first to reach out to me, commenting loudly as I passed that my "ass was really wet". (I can't help it. It's low nineties, and high humidity, and it's an hour long walk at the height of the midday.)
I also couldn't help the response that just happened, instinctively. Instead of engaging in dialogue, I reached back, hooked my thumbs in the waistband, and rolled my shorts down ever so quickly to show just how sweaty it was.
Hence ... as I discovered this week as I passed, I am, to her, Moon Man ... forevermore.
