The Boiler Man Who Planned My Future

"When I was seventeen, my mum asked me to deal with the boiler repair man while she was out. He came over, I took him to the boiler and did the standard thing of asking if he wanted a cuppa. He asked for tea, I made it and when I handed it to him he said, "You'll make a good wife someday."

I was so embarrassed, I nervously said, "I hope not." Then, felt so uncomfortable, I hid in my room until my mum came home. 🫣"
