Boston, MA (AP): We’ve all used corny pick up lines before. We’ve all gone up to the door and knocked, impatiently and nervously waiting to meet her mom for the first time. As the door opens, we say, “You must be Jane’s sister,” in hopes of earning her likings right then and there for making her feel young. Well sometimes, that doesn’t always work as planned.
When Ali Pellerin first rolled up to Carrie Oakey’s apartment in Boston, she knocked on the door, and Stamford Branch answered. “You must be Carrie’s roommate,” Pellerin anxiously said to what she thought was Carrie’s father. “Yup, come on in,” Branch answered, confusing the deuce out of Ali.
“I honestly thought it was his dad,” Ali replied, when asked what she thought of Patch. “I guess what I said turned out to be true, even though I was trying to flatter him.”
“Carrie looks so young and cute,” admits long time friend Luther Brewster. “Her and I share the same appetite…that of a nine year old. Pizza, chicken fingers, and soup! She’s so cute!”
“I grew up with her, so I’m aware that she’s my age,” says Rufus Feldmore, “but if I didn’t know her, there’s no way I’d think she would be old enough to drive. I bet she still get ID’ed at rated R movies,” says Feldmore with a chuckle. “I remember I used to bring the ladies to movies back when I was twelve years old, and they never checked my ID. She’s just so little and cute, I love it!”
“Patch could definitely pass as his dad,” admits Otis Sanderson. “Patch works with kids, so he must love them. I wouldn’t be surprised if strangers called the cops on him if they ever saw Patch and Carrie buying beer together. It’d be kinda funny if he got arrested for serving a minor though,” giggles Sanderson.
“It was kinda funny,” states Oakey. “We went to TGIF’s once for dinner, and the waitress brought him out a senior citizens’ menu,” says a hysterical Oakey, barely able to breathe. “Then, as we were leaving, the hostess asked Stamford if he wanted a lollipop, which he kindly rejected, but then she asked him if his daughter would like one,” say Oakey, completely bent over, unable to control her laughter. “The best part is, he flipped out on the poor girl, and the manager had to come escort him out!” Oakey is now on his hands and knees, inhaling, taking deep breaths as if he just finished a marathon.
Though just a couple years apart in age, they are a complete generation apart in appearance. Oakey is full of energy, full of hair, cute, very personable, and has an amazing laugh. Patch gets very fired up too, has a sweet laugh, would do anything for anyone, and is a phenomenal wingman. What he has excess of in age, unfortunately, he lacks in hair.
