So I was talking with my Mom on the phone last night . . . My Mom is single. She went to an older singles dance just before Halloween.→[More:]

And this guy started chatting her up.

Turns out he's a llama farmer.

Yeah, that's right. A llama farmer was mackin' on my Mom.

Unbelievable. I don't know what to say.

Just thought I'd share.

Isn't terrapin a llama farmer these days?

This seems like a good reason to link to the best Whose Line segment ever (it's the last song that's relevant, but it's all good.)

I wish my mom had a llama farmer -- she's lonely without my dad (gone 3 1/2 years).

Does she live in NYC, too, jason? Because a lot of people keep llamas and alpacas these days. We've got some across the street, as a matter of fact. I also know people who raise bison and emus. Llamas are the new hotness. He's a hipster farmer.

My elementary school (which was right across the street from my house) was right next door to a llama farm. They seemed pretty easy to care for.

So, did he invite her to see his llama farm?

Yeah, totally. I hope he hasn't picked up the llamas' mating rituals or anything ;)

I'm sorry about that.

Does she live in NYC, too, jason?

No. Mom lives . . elsewhere. On the Eastern Seaboard.

I also know people who raise bison and emus.

Neat!

Hah!

So, did he invite her to see his llama farm?

Oh, yeah. But Mom wasn't really into him. Maybe we could pass along his number to Claudia's Mom?

And I thought I had a big apartment.

Hmm, another thought - just what was her costume? Maybe that's what caught his attention - was she wearing red pajamas?

Baby llama Mama!

I don't know much about llamas, but alpaca farming is all the rage up in Northern New England. There are all kinds of 'em now.

A llama farmer was mackin' on my Mom. That's my favorite song! I had a llama chase me around one time. I had a big water with ice clattering when we were exploring a farm and I guess he thought it was food, he kept trying to get my water. I'm a city girl and it kinda freaked me out being followed about a field by a llama. I calmly made my way to the other side of the fence. Phew. Does that count as Llama drama? I am a mamma.

Especially if you add "Dear Liza, Dear Liza!"

Lots of alpaca farms here in WA state. Actually, at this exact moment, I'm wearing my hot pink alpaca scarf that I bought on San Juan island. They're the huggable investment! And very cute.

That looks like the Upper West Side -- the brownstone buildings, the awnings all point to that particular neighborhood.
