A few months back, I was with my boss and two co-workers at a lawyer mixer thing. A prominent local lawyer was there too. He was with a kid, I'd say about 16-years-old. The kid was short and wearing a suit that was way too big for him. In addition, he had long, emo hair in his face, kinda bad skin, and he looked like he hated being there. He stood by himself off to the side while the lawyer schmoozed it up. Typical teenager, pretty much. So I'm introduced to the lawyer and here's how the conversation went:
Me: It's nice to meet you. Is this your son?
Him: No, it's my husband.
Me: Oh. I'm sorry.
My boss & co-workers: (mortified)
So yeah, apparently the "kid" wasn't a kid at all. And the prominent local lawyer is gay. And he is "married" to a much, much younger man. And I am a jackass. Awesome.

That still makes me laugh. In your defense, he does have a son about the same age. creepy.
Is the prominent young lawyer on TV?
Holy shit, Claudia, that is the funniest thing I've ever heard!
I didn't say the prominent lawyer was young. He's probably in his 50's. The "husband" was no more than 20. And, no, not on tv to my knowledge.
That's funny. He has an emo boytoy as old as his son.
I was so hoping it was Glenn Lerner.
tee hee...I saw the prominent lawyer on TV and thought about this story...you're soooo funny!
In some cultures, that would be a compliment.
Okay, I'm really reaching on that one.
