>”Well mom, you see… I haven’t really met the right woman.”
>”I understand my little boy wanting to save himself for marriage but I am just wondering when I will have some grand babies to baby sit.”
>She once again sips her tea and pierces you with another warm smile.
>You clear your throat not sure what to say.
>You have been going around and tried a few dating sites but you have trouble actually getting a girl friend.
>”Hewwo daddeh!”, Your fluffy pony has woke from his nap and come in obviously looking to play with you.
