A gentleman friend, one I have spent extensive amounts of time with in the past and again in the present, comes to pick me up for an outing. A friend, about whom my mom has expressed concern because she does not know the young man with whom her youngest daughter is spending so much time, sits down with my mother for the 8 to 10 minutes it takes me to finish getting ready and chats it up with my mother. Knowing that she gave him the polite, but thorough interview, I ask Ma her opinion later. I am confident the woman picked up enough to draft a brief but sufficient psychiatric profile as only a mother could in such a short amount of time. I ask her some preliminary questions, just wondering what she asked him and what she learned about him, etc. After disclosing to me her findings about his education, hobbies, and 2 to 5 year life plan, I ask her:
Me: So, Ma, what do you think of Mr. Awesome?
Ma: What do I think of him? I don't know him! He's just some- some man piece of yours!
