What daughter did not suffer the distress of her father's reaction to her first boyfriend? Mine had a questionnaire which he got my boyfriends to fill out, and after each question, if the answer was unsatisfactory, the young man was asked to leave the premises. Let's just say that my mother helped make sure he behaved enough so that we could get through a proper meal. The problem and stress of bringing a young man home to meet the family can only be combated by the knowledge that if he can/is will to put up with the insanity, than he is one step closer to possibly deserving you.
I have to say that I found the plot line regarding the young man using up too much water because he showered 6-7 times daily while taking care of the needs 14 year old boys have hilarious. When his uncle approached him to address the situation, that was awkward, but the conclusion was the best way imaginable to curb those urges. His grandfather came into the bathroom while he was "having a shower" and began explaining to him how this was a normal part of nature. Brilliant.
Were your experiences similar when you were that age?
