Who can’t sort of relate to this [craigslist]
The title says it all. My mom, god bless her, is in match-making mode. She struck once two weeks ago by flirting with the waitress at the cafe we were at. While I was standing there!
“Do you recognize my son?” she asked the waitress, then went on to explain I was on some local television show that about 3 people in the city watch because it was on Friday night, when most people are out having a life.
“No,” she said, then explained she’s too busy to watch television because she’s working three three jobs to save money to buy a house with her fiance.
Check please!
Then, the next week, at the same cafe (with the same waitress!) my mom slipped me the phone number of a colleague’s daughter.
“How is that conversation supposed to go Mom,” I asked. “Hi. my mom spoke to your mom and said we should go out.”
I called the woman and apologized. She laughed, accepted the apology and suggested we get drinks to commiserate.
Look. I’m 29. College educated. Fully employed. Can do laundry. No criminal record. Have a great group of friends. And, um, a quirky but lovable family.
So please, help me stop my mom before she match makes again.
