i tell my mom i’ve met someone that makes me grin and giggle. and here is what she says:

soooooooo…
with a last name like that – is he Mennonite .. hehehehe
does he fit on top of your shoulder – do you fit under his armpit
flats or heals
does he use shampoo
can he run fast
is he spiritual
do you celebrate your belly-button days in the same year
what is he addicted to :)
does he love his mom and treat her ‘well’.
what does he think of running noses and pampers
………….see – we need a coffee chat :)

as you can see, my mom’s requirements* aren’t too stringent. she done raised me good and knows i know how to be safe and secure and happy, so she trusts just about every decision i have ever made.

does everyone in a new relationship go through this? what does your mom ask?

i wonder what questions his mom has…

————
*nope. close enough. whatever i want. so much it gets in his eyes! not so fast i can’t catch him. yup. not even close. other than me? you bet. already has names picked out!

    Sigh. I love my mom, and I know she loves me. But her first question was always “What does he do?” and then invariably “Is he tall?”, the latter being some sort of Asian preoccupation as far as I can tell.

    hmmmm, thinking back, my mom never really asked much of anything, she just always smiled and said, take it slow … ’cause she knew me all too well … : )

    My mother’s questions: “Does he treat you well?” “When do we get to meet him?”

    Answers: Very much so, and … uh … so…. how about them insert-local-sports-team-here?

    1. What is a belly button day?
    2. Why does your mom want your head in his armpit?

    Love the photo of you squealing in your mom’s arms. Are you ever amazed that you were actually once that tiny?

    That should have read “I heart your mom and her questions.” :-)

    mom never asked questions – she was happy that I had a boyfriend. dad asked ‘do you believe that you’re going to be happy?’.. I said ‘yes!’ :) that was it and I left for another country to leave with him :)

    Numbers 6, 7, & 10 seem like questions his mom might be curious about…
