My neighbor pulled that on me recently - “My son’s growing up so tall and getting so handsome! If I was a teenage girl, I’d date him!”
So what do I say?
“Oh yeah, I’d do him.”
(I didn’t actually say that)
Someone else’s mom: My then-boyfriend/now-husband, in his senior year in college, was hanging out with a female friend after their last class of the day. (Said friend was engaged and would be married later that year, after graduation.) Her mother was in town and picked up the friend for lunch, and on being introduced to my then-BF, insisted that he come along to lunch. He caved after much prodding, and had a nice conversation with them over lunch. Near the end of the meal, the mother said to her daughter about how nice a guy my then-BF was, and how she thought her daughter should go out with him instead of the fiance! :eek: It wasn’t even said snidely or anything, just very sweet and matter-of-fact.
The scene: Thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws, 1976. At the close of the meal, my father-in-law raps a water glass for attention and delivers the following:
“I’ve got three married kids and no grandkids. Are you doing it wrong, or what?”
Our daughter was born the following September.
Current hubby and I had two kids right off the bat. Ex and I had one, but it took a loong time. Hubby’s mom says, “He must have been shooting blanks!”
My husband turned beet red.
