professor cute!
at thai basil. my mom had lost her earring and we looked all over the home depot parking lot and all over her car and finally went to dinner, listening to madeleine peyroux. my dad was being won over, which he sometimes does when i play the music, and when we got to thai basil i opened the door and there stood professor cute across the room waiting for take-out.
so i said chris, and hello, and about how much i love thai basil, and having to send my paper. she said she just started teaching again. i said, these are my parents. and she said, hello, parents! it took such adrenaline. then i sat with them and we ordered. they'd said she was too young to be my professor; they felt old.
she stopped on her way out, and my dad talked like he does. and when my dad said something funny, perhaps, she said i was just like my dad. my mom cracked up and professor cute said, it just took 30 seconds to make sure. she also said i get my good disposition from my mom, which is usually true. it was great.
and then there was phad thai and thai iced tea. when we talked about things and about rachel blake, and when i got back into the car, after the badness of traffic, i just smiled, clear, from university to southern. this album is so beautiful and this night was all a lovely surprise.
