TILF

The most bizarre thing happened today at school. I was called to a parent conference that I had been dreading since last week. The parents were not happy that their daughter did not make the team last week. I was ready to get a butt chewing. However, I ended up getting something else....
The conference started very professional with the proper introductions and shaking of hands. After I sat in my respected spot at the table, both parents commented on me looking so nice. I blushed and said thank you. And made some comment about being the second outfit of the day since I had coached all morning. They both continued to comment on how nice I looked. Flattering as it may have been, it began to get a little weird. I proceeded to talk to them about their daughter. We talked for about 20 minutes about her skills and where she need to improve. And how we could get her into the Athletics program. All was going well until the very end of the conference. I got up to shake their hands and tell them how nice it was to meet them. They followed up by saying the same. Then the mom commented again at how nice I looked. But what happened next is what made the whole situation BIZARRE. After I shook the dad's hand he says and I quote "Red hair, freckles, and a black dress that's what I'm talkin about!" I didn't know what to say...I have never been "hit on" in a parent conference. And especially in close proximity to the wife. I quickly made an excuse about having to get to a meeting and made my exit. As I left, I was laughing in shock and amazement that a parent would do that.
