ALSO KNOWN AS A FIRST DATE IN THE OZARKS

In Marseilles, France, Daniel Anceneaux flirted with a chick on the Internet. Finally, they agreed to meet. On a beach. After dark.

He showed. She showed. She turned around. And then:

"I walked out on that dark beach thinking I was going to hook up with the girl of my dreams," the rattled bachelor later admitted. "And there she was, wearing white shorts and a pink tank top, just like she'd said she would.

"But when I got close, she turned around -- and we both got the shock of our lives. I mean, I didn't know what to say. All I could think was, 'Oh my God! it's Mama!'"

But the worst was yet to come. Just as the mortified mother and son realized the error of their ways, a patrolman passed by and cited them for visiting a restricted beach after dark.

"Danny and I were so flustered, we blurted out the whole story to the cop," recalled matronly mom Nicole, 52. "The policeman wrote a report, a local TV station got hold of it -- and the next thing we knew, our picture and our story was all over the 6 o'clock news. "People started pointing and laughing at us on the street -- and they haven't stopped laughing since."

Further adding to the problem was dear old Dad, who didn't know his wife was flirting on the net. With their son. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Who's your Daddy?"
