A few years ago, I was on a walk and suddenly felt weak, so I stopped at a nearby fast food place. #sonOne's old high school girlfriend was there and tried to talk to me. I'm fine with her, and was happy to see her, but I was really focused on getting something in my stomach.
She introduced her oldest child (other than hair color, a clone of her younger brother) and conspicuously avoided discussion the child's father.
Later on, in conversation with my son:
Me: Guess who I saw today?
S1: (some friend of his who still lives locally, but whom I haven't seen since the 1990s)
Me: No, $GF and her oldest son.
S1: Don't bring her up. I have bad memories of her.
I was kind of happy to see what had become of her when she more than doubled her age.
