A mother's questions

Okay, I couldn’t take it anymore. I broke down and sent Mollie an email. Trust me I didn’t ask all the questions that I wanted to, but I asked some. Here’s what I send. 

 

Hey baby,

 

I’ve decided that as a really good mother (in my own opinion) that I should be allowed to ask two question a month about ‘that guy.’ I realize you night disagree and if so you can complete ignore this email and I will not bring it up in person.

 

But if you’re willing to play along here are my two questions for September.

 

1)How did you meet? Give as much information as you’re comfortable with. Something along the lines of…

 

An online dating service?

Mutual friends?

A bar?

He’s a Nigerian prince who asked for your help?

 

A little more elaborations would be appreciated.

 

 

2) What does he do for a living?

 

Veterinary? (Considering the costs of vet care, this would be a really good idea)

Teacher ?

Drug dealer?

Professional snake wrangler?

 

Come on, I’m your mom and I have a right to be curious. But seriously if you ignore this I will too. And remember even if you answer I can’t ask any more about him until October – though stray bits of information will be welcome anytime.

Next I waited and waited… for four days. Then Saturday night I got the following answer. My girl is just a fountain of information. Here’s her answer.

 

Met on a dating app, works in (a nearby town) manages the deli bakery section of Harris Teeter. 

 

I responded,

 

Thanks baby. A vet would be more useful, but I like anything associated with a bakery.

 

Well, there you go. I know so much more now. But bless her heart, she did answer – very brief answers, but she answered. I’ll take suggestion for my two questions for next month.
