“Sexy lady, hey hey hey sexy lady!”
Does this happen to women as much as I think it does?
Julia Price wrote about what a what happened to her when she was out jogging the other day.
A guy wouldn’t leave her alone.
But the cool part of the story is how a little boy saw what happened and tried to protect her.
Here’s what Julia wrote on her Facebook page:
I was on my usual running path when I heard an older man yelling loudly enough for me to hear through my headphones.
“Sexy lady, hey hey hey sexy lady!”
He kept screaming it and I decided to just ignore him and keep running.
This ignoring seemed to piss him off so he lashed out and said “eff you, dumb B****!”
Now let’s keep in mind he was well-dressed and appeared to be on his lunch break from an office job.
That was my trigger point.
The B word.
I ripped off my headphones prepared to stand up for myself when this little boy who was walking alongside his mother and little sister in a stroller looked at the guy and said:
“Hey.
That’s not nice to say to her.
You shouldn’t do that because she is a nice girl and I don’t let anyone say mean things to people.
She’s a girl like my sister and I will protect her.”
The man was immediately embarrassed and started gathering his lunch to leave.
I asked the mother if I could hug the little boy (his name is James) and I told him how grateful I was for him.
He just shrugged and said:
“Well I just wanted to make sure your heart was okay.”
According to his mother, this is a typical day in the life of James.
Thank you so much to the mothers and fathers who are raising the next generation to be brave and courageous, and to be little earth angels for all.
I am so touched.

James sounds like an outstanding young man.
He also reminds me of one of my daughter’s friends.
His name is Bryce.
I took Bryce and my daughter (they were both 10 at the time) to the Alameda County Fair over the summer.
I’ll never forget what happened.
They were on a roller coaster.
My daughter was scared.
And Bryce said:
“Don’t worry Callie. I’ll protect you.”
It was one of the cutest moments I’ve ever seen.
Bryce and James are the kind of guys I want my daughters to be around.
Not someone like that pathetic guy who was yelling at Julia.
Guys like that make me sick.
All of which brings me back to the question I asked at the top.
Do this really happen as much as I think it does?
And has it happened to you?
