Seeing and being seen

Tonight was the Ice Cream Social for high school/middle school staff and faculty. Tuesday will be the district chicken feed. All are expected to show for at least one and preferrably both. Families included.
No one knows what to expect from my family. We are the most liberal of the bunch and are not really afraid to tackle a situation at any time. We look. Could be fun. And in we go.
Plus free food. My son and husband think that is just the best thing ever. And fried chicken. My God, you would think the son had died and gone to heaven.
It is fun to watch others seeing my husband and I for the first time. He is 29 years older than I am. Alot of people are not sure what to think, let alone say. Neither of us are leary of being on a stage either. So let the comments come. Or at least the looks. One of us will chat. Just to allay fears that nothing "strange" is going on.
Well, at least not that particular minute.
