Aphrodite Revisited
by Judith Bakkensen
Aphrodite looked at the old woman from behind her
mother.
The old woman said, "You watch that child like a hawk.
She is too good looking and there are so many perverts out there. And
especially don't trust your relatives."
The wise woman said, "What a beautiful daughter, we will
all watch over her and keep her safe."
Aphrodite was doing the dishes.
The woman in the next room said, "I'll bet your daughter
drives the boys crazy with those eyes."
The wise woman in the next room said, "How wonderful that
Aphrodite helps out so much around the house."
Aphrodite was in college.
The jock said, "Why are you with that ugly loser when you could
be with me."
The young man said, "Aphrodite, who is your friend?"
Aphrodite was outside her new apartment.
The drunk uncle said, "I see the different cars of all
your boyfriends in front of your apartment," as he fondled her breasts.
The kind uncle said, "I see you are dating, if you need
any help or advice, I live right around the corner."
Aphrodite was getting married.
The groom said, "Who are these guys, I don't like them
looking at you."
The love of her life said, "You look beautiful
today."
Aphrodite was at work.
The guy at the copier said, "I watch you all the time.
I don't care if you are married. I want you."
The friend at work said, "I really enjoy working with you.
You are a great asset to our work environment."
Aphrodite was talking with her manager.
The manager said, "Do you really want to turn him in for
harrassment, think of his wife."
The truly wonderful boss said, "You've got to be kidding,
he will be gone within the hour. You'll never have to deal with him
again."
Aphrodite got a big promotion.
The co-worker said, "With her looks, she'll always get
ahead."
The collegue said, "I'm so happy for you, you've
worked so hard and really deserve it. Let's go celebrate."
Aphrodite was pregnant.
The husband said, "This is the worst day of my life, now
you'll get fat."
The love of her life said, "This is the best day of
my life, I love you so much."
When Aphrodite became an elder.
Aphrodite met a beautiful young girl. "Hello, my
name is Aphrodite, what's yours."
