so how freaky is it when your mum sneaks up on you with an article about "Finding Mr Right" from some inane magazine and wants to - 'discuss' - it. Those are her precise words. Discuss?? discuss what?
She wanted to know what's my criteria for marrying a guy so that she could find one for me. Hello?? .. am I missing something here? Can someone tell me what's the logic in her knowing MY preferences so that SHE can look for a guy. Someone please enlighten me.
she poses seemingly hypothetical situations to me.... something like this-
Mother: So say there is this one guy, just suppose you know, NOT that there is one, but let's just SAY there is.
Me: .. uhhh ok.. go on
Mum: and this completely non existent guy has a good job, is ok looking, has lots of money (i'm thinking here ... where did that money come from??) and ..(here she plays what she supposes to be her trump card) lives in ENGLAND! (triumphant expression on face)
Me: .. yeah ...... and?
Mum: then there's this OTHER guy .... completely hypothetical of course, who's got a good job too, is quite good looking, doesn't have that much money (me- where does it go if he has a good job? uses it as toilet paper ?) and lives in AMERICA!
Me: blank look
Mum: so now who would u chose? the one in England or in America????
Me: incredulous look.
I'm bombarded with these kind of conversation every now and then. I will either die laughing or lose my fragile sanity very soon
