Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thanking a for you subject. I'm falling for him, not
his daddy. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm fifty six years old
and my husband will turn seventy five in May. My
husband is a great provider and great daddy, but I
don't get butterflies when I'm with him like I did
in the beginning. I will admit he wooed me with

(00:46):
expensive things and I was caught up at first. We
met and got married all within a year. I didn't
snap back into reality until I met my step son
at our wedding a year ago. Now I want my
step son more than I want my husband. He's a
fifty two year old bachelor and a big flirt. He
comes over to the house and we have a good

(01:07):
time together. While my husband sits in a den glued
to the TV. My step son and I enjoy the
same wines, foods, movies, and podcasts. We've fallen asleep together
on the couch watching TV, and my husband doesn't even
see what's happening between us. My stepson said he hopes
he can meet a woman like me that's smart, pretty

(01:27):
and sexy after age fifty. I reminded him that he's
only a few years younger, and he said, I look
better than most of the ladies his age. I made
up an excuse to have lunch with him yesterday. I
told him I needed help planning his dad's birthday party,
so he agreed to meet me. He was so handsome
and he smells so good. His hug was an a

(01:50):
normal step son hug, and we blushed when the waiter
called us mister and missus king. It's obvious that we
look good together. After lunch, he texted me to say
that he had a great time, and he said that
I give great hugs. I wanted to tell him I
give great everything, but I didn't. Should I cut the
bs and tell him I'm falling for him, or should

(02:11):
I wait so he can make the first move. Please stop,
please stop this, right please? I mean really, this is
wrong on so many levels. And you know this that
may sound like judgment for me, and I don't even
care about that. It's not judgment. It's just a simple
matter of right and wrong. Family is and should be

(02:34):
off limits. And why is it that we always want
something we can't have? Seriously, come on now, lady, this
man is your husband's son. He's your husband's son. And yes,
your husband is seventy five and much older than you,
but he's still alive. He's still your husband. What are
you doing? At least give your husband the respect he deserves.

(02:57):
Do not do this to him. Don't do this to
his son. His son is out of line too. You
need to sit down. But you need to sit down.
I don't like any of this. I don't like what
you're doing. You need to leave your stepson alone and
stop doing this to your husband. This is so crazy.
Right here, this makes me so angry.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Steve Well Shirley says something that hinges on the facts
of this whole letter. Shirley said, this line right here,
he's still alive, and that is what he inges on
this whole letter, he is still alive, referring to her

(03:39):
the fifty six year old woman's seventy five year old husband,
He is still alive. The question beckons, now how long?
Now let's read the letter. Charley posed the question that
made the statement he is still alive. The question I

(04:01):
propose is how long? So now let's read the letter
based on this letter is filled with discrimination. I have
been accused of fat shaming, and now I be accused
of age discrimination. I'm in the middle. She fifty six,

(04:21):
he's seventy five. I'm sixty seven. I'm right in the
middle of this mess. I'm damn near both of them.
Here I go this Stephenshall, I'm fifty six year old.
My husband turned seventy five. In made my husband great,
providing great daddy. Here's a key line. I don't get
butterflies when I'm with him like I did in the beginning.

(04:41):
Quit looking for butterflies. He's seventy five, Start looking for moths.
What you need to quit doing is quick looking for butterflies.
He know that ain't butterflies no more. This is moss,
fat fluffy ass moths.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
You stupid.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Red, big old moss, wool eating ass, moth hungry ass
math Butterflies fly like this. Butterflies flutter, they go up
and down chain direction. Moths just come in and land
on stuff. So let's stop looking for the butterflies. Used

(05:24):
to feel when you first met him. He's seventy five.
He don't make butterflies, No more them his moths. I
would admit he wooed me in the beginning with expensive things,
and I was caught up at first. We met, got married.
All in the years, See, you was thirsty, then you
was thirsty. You saw that lifestyle and went for it.
I just snapped back into reality until I met my

(05:45):
step son at I where in the year ago. Now
I want my stepson more than I want my husband.
He fifty two year old bachelor and a big flirt,
and you're a fifty six year old married woman. That's
a big flirt. He come over to the house. We
have a good time together while my husband sitting in
the den and glued to the TV. My stuff signed

(06:07):
and I enjoy the same wines, foods, movies, and podcasts.
Cause you listen to podcasts don't make you young. I just
want to point that out. You try to throw that
in like y'all doing some real young stof We like
the same movie, food, wine, and podcast. We fall and
sleep together on the couch watching TV and my husband
don't see what's happening. Your husband might not see what's happening,

(06:30):
but you do. You've been eyeing him since your wedding day.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Hang on, I'll be back. Yeah, we'll have part two
of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after
the hour. Today's strawberry letter subject I'm falling for him,
not his daddy. We'll get back into it right after this.
You're listening morning show, All right, Come on, Steve, let's
recap today's strawberry letter. I'm falling for him, not his daddy.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Fifty six year old woman that married this seventy five
year old man. Now she's saying she don't feel butterflies
no more. I'll be rinded her that he's seventy five.
Stop looking for butterflies, start looking for moths, moss, big fat, fluffy.

(07:25):
I will admit he wooed me with expensive things. I
was caught up. We met, got married all within the year,
and I didn't snap back into reality until I met
my step son at our wedding a year ago. On
your wedding day, you're trifling behind snap back to reality
by realizing you was marrying this old man because if

(07:46):
he could buy you expensive things. Now you say you
want your step son more than you want your husband.
Fifty two year old bachelor and a big flirt. Come
over to the house. We have a good time together
while I'm husband sits in the den glued to the TV.
My step sign and his son and I enjoy the
same movies, wines, foods, podcasts. Y'all that fell asleep together

on the couch watching TV and my husband don't even
see what's happening. Yeah, but you do though. You see
what's happening, and you saw what you wanted to happen
on your wedding day when you met your step son.
On your wedding day, my stepson says that he hopes
he can meet a woman like me that's smart, pretty

(08:31):
and sexy after age fifty. Then you reminded him he's
only a few years young, and he said, I look
better than most of the ladies. Says, hey, I made
up an excuse to have lunch with him yesterday. I
told him I need to play in his daddy's birthday
parties who agreed to meet me. He was so handsome
and he smelled so good. See. Now let's go talk
about smell, because him and his daddy smell differently. Yeah. See,

(08:58):
the young boy smell at cologne and his daddy smell
like minute. That's two different smells.

Speaker 1 (09:05):

One of them smell like a feel outside, the other
smell like inside the hospital. Yeah, you're right there. Yeah.

different smells, one of them all and one of them
thick and gummy. Yeah yeah, yeah, your little fitty you old.

He taking pills to help his night out viagraus and yalysies.
Your husband in there taking nitro glistering. He trying to
stay in this world. He taking step to keep the
jump start his herd makes him make his heart them
two different pills. One of the pills you could do
without the other one. He came miss oh lord. So yeah,

(10:48):
he was so handsome, he smelled so good. This hug
wasn't like the normal step son either. Yeah, that's why
his hugs are different because he see he hugging your
husband falling on you. See you hug got seventy fie old.
It turned from a hug to hold me up right quick.
It's two different things from her to hold me up.

(11:12):
Hug me and hold me up. It's two different things.
And we blushed when the waiter call us mister and
missus Kane. It's obvious we look good together. Well, it's
hard to look good with your hugs because there's too
much stuff in the picture.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (11:30):
And y'all sitting there there taking picture in the chair,
but you can see the handlebars from his hove around
over there. See that what you doing now? Now you
think you all look good together? Y'all? Y'all taking the picture,
but you can see the walker right next to the chair.
You can see that, and that can take away from
the picture. You know, you know, you're sitting up there

(11:53):
y'all in the chair, but you can see the cane.
It ain't no Ron Ashley Kane. This that cane that
you get a CVS Brown with the black grip on
the end of it. He got one of them crutches
in the picture with the armbrace on it.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
He's just seventy five.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
That's what's wrong. Though. After lunch he texted me and
said we had a great time and he said that
I give a great hug. I wanted to tell him
I get great everything. So what did you say with
your nas day? But I didn't. Should I cut the
bs and tell him I'm falling for him? Or should

(12:34):
I wait so he can make the first move? Do
you hear that question? Either way? In this question, she
know is going down, She's planning on it going down.
She just want to know shit she said, or wait
on him to say it. But it's going down. The
decision has been made. You've chosen the stepson on wedding

(12:59):
day versus his old ass daddy.
