Costco Pick Up

I was waiting in line to check out at Costco, when the couple in front of my turned around and started pointing in my direction.  The woman then said something to me, which I could not hear nor understand due to our masks.  She stepped closer to explain that she and her husband were looking at the nuts behind me.  I quipped, "I thought you'd said, 'hey look, that lady is NUTS', and you aren't wrong."  She chuckled, then said, "You are delightful" and then, "I notice you aren't wearing a wedding band." (The FIRST person to notice since I stopped wearing it due to "ring rot" where the skin around your ring starts getting irritated.  Then, it became too small.  Maybe it shrunk?)  I stammered, "Oh, no, I AM married, for a couple of decades actually."  She told me she had two sons she was constantly on the look out to pair up.  One son had divorced two years ago and still has not dated since.  I suggested maybe he start Zumba, because as I recall those classes were almost all women.  The men attending get a lot of attention.  She didn't think that would work, she thought he would probably just be identified as gay in a Zumba class.  She lamented that he wouldn't even let her help him set up an online dating account.  (Weird, not wanting your mom to help with that.)  As she checked out, she shouted back at me, "Tell your husband that he has quite a catch!"  And of course, I DID.  Who knows he might start doing the Costco runs from now on.  Apparently, I am a hot ticket item there.
