So much to talk about, so little time.

Long story short, SS was with us this weekend which meant he gets to be treated like royalty. SS asked if he could have some friends over and we said yes. All they wanted to do was play on the xbox and maybe watch a movie.

I asked how many friends he was thinking about and SS said “I dunno, maybe 3 or 4”.

I said okay but before anyone is allowed over, he is to help us clean the house.

Unfortunately, SS’s version of cleaning the house means pulling the bathroom trick every 20 minutes or so. It was only after I threatened him with calling his friends myself telling them they can’t come over because SS wasn’t doing his assigned chores did SS finally get his butt in gear.

Alright….So SS, friend’s come over….

You all ready for this STalk? Cuz what I am about to write defies explanation.

SS’s friends were 2 guys….and a GIRL!

I sh*t you not. I thought for a sec this girl was one of the guy’s sister or something.

Nope. This girl is an actual girl friend. As in, girl friend = "a friend who happens to be female".

The girl’s name Vicky. I don’t know much about her, apart from the fact that apparently she has a stepfather who has full custody of her.

DW was in absolute HEAVEN.

“OMG! She’s soooo cute! Don’t you think she’s cute? My son has a girlfriend! I’m ecstatic!”

I don’t blame DW for being excited about this, but she kept “intruding” on them in an effort to satisfy her curiosity. “How did you all meet? Do you guys have class together? Etc.”

At one point I had to pull DW aside.

“Would you STOP it!” I said. “You’re embarrassing him!”

“Do you think she likes him? Are they going out? I think they’re going out. After all, SS is good looking. *GASP* Do you think they kissed!?”

“What the….? Are you drunk?”

“You don’t think my son is worthy of a female companion?”

“Your son has stuffed his face full of Doritos and hasn’t brushed his teeth in 2 days!!!”

“I think they’re so cute together!”

“She might be paired up with one of the other two boys…”

“How do you know?”

“Huh?….I! DON’T! KNOW! And more importantly...NEITHER DO YOU! Now come on…Let’s leave them be.”

Except she couldn’t leave them be. When it got late, Vicky said she had to go home. I said I would give her a lift but she quickly declined saying that she would rather walk. SS accompanied her.

DW walked them to the end of the driveway telling her how very nice it was to meet her and that she is welcome over at anytime. DW was really pouring it on thick. Then, as SS and Vicky walked off down the road, DW turned to walk back towards the house, but then quickly dove into the neighbor’s bushes to spy on them. Unfortunately for DW, she’s about as stealthy as Flaming yellow bulldozer on full throttle. The racket she made caused the neighbor’s dog to bark and I am certain SS and Vicky knew they were being watched because they walked side by side being careful not to touch each other and they kept looking back over their shoulder.

I’d write some more, but the details are still sketchy….

Bates Motel is one of my favorite shows! So creepy....so real.

I always lock my door when I shower...

I don't know...She's just beside herself with curiosity and questions. I am the complete opposite. While I admit to "some" curiosity, I know the answers will come to me in time. My SIL is even worse. She's the type of person who will skip to the last page of the book just to see how it ends after reading the first chapter.

I know! Vicky seems like a nice young girl and I would love to talk to her but I don't want to be intrusive either. So as far as I am concerned she is just a character in the unfolding story of SS growing up. Best to not get involved and let things take their course.

That's some epic dialogue right there.

“Your son has stuffed his face full of Doritos and hasn’t brushed his teeth in 2 days!!!”

LMAO!

mmmm.. BTDT. And I am not a helicopter parent at all, but when they first start dating, it is a bit unnerving. Your wife will start to take it in stride soon.

Just wait until your first born girl brings home someone?!

>Just wait until your first born girl brings home someone?!<

Don't remind me! I already see my future; sitting in a rocking chair on my front porch in my overalls, toothless, spitting tobacco in an urn and polishing the shotgun sitting in my lap....ready to challenge any young suitor that approaches the house!

>next time you can at least try to act happy for your wife being excited about her son.<

If she was honestly excited and happy for SS, she shouldn't be hovering over him a la Norma Bates, which is the point I was trying to make. But whatever, you and others would probably be happier if my wife would dump me to date a poet, or a politician or anyone else more accustomed to telling their wives lies rather than the honest truth.

>Can you imagine how a parent who lives with you, loves you and values your opinion would feel attacked?<

But I'm not attacking. I'm not even criticizing. I'm just saying that my wife's curiosity can be equally satiated if she just take a step back and watch and listen without being intrusive or embarrassing. I would like to have this girl over again, and I would highly suggest that SS shower[1] and brush his teeth first before she comes over.

[1] Yes, he didn't shower either.

ETA: Trust me, if my wife felt like I was attacking her, she would say so.

Honestly? I have NO idea. He does shower now days without incessant nagging and a couple of weeks ago, he showered three days IN A ROW!!! That was my first clue that *maybe* there was a lady interest.

i believe they actually do!

my skids are all about the beiber hair, and daily showers, deodorant and whatnot. but nary a girlfriend in sight, no interest shown to have any at all! OSS is too worried about his online identity and making sure irl he fits the part (he does have some female friends, they all get gossipy about having Twitter Wars and whatnot) :? . MSS is consumed by sports and fitting w/ his teammates.

but yeah, the Axe stuff is all part of the image.
hopefully he'll actually use their products 'as directed'!!!!

OH, I don't know-I was sorta excited for all my kids "first" boyfriend/girlfriend. Those days are over for us now since my youngest is the ripe old age of 11.

However, I quickly learned "here today, gone tomorrow"-these boyfriends/girlfriends can disappear as quickly as they appear so I make an effort to make sure I don't invest too much time into any of them. My 16 year old has met the man she is going to marry (snort :sick: )so I guess I will have to put forth some sort of effort to get to know this one.
