The daughter's date came by to pick her up and meet the parents tonight. He should be very happy the dad parent wasn't home. The date had a shaved head, tattoo's on both arms... a little different than I’m used to her dating, but whatever. I can adjust... he’s not my date. Here's the part that got me though - This guy starts talking and I realize he has an ear ring in his tongue. An ear ring in his tongue? What the hell could he be thinking? She knew about it. She could have warned me. I smile and shake his hand. We chat about nothing. Maybe it was something - I don't know because all I can think about is that a twenty two year old man with an ear ring in his tongue for crimminies sake is about to walk out the door with my daughter. She's smart, she's a thinker, she's 18 3/4 going on 47. I can trust her judgement, I'm thinkin.
Finally, I walk them to the door. I try not to glare but I tell him that I want to see her walking back in that door at midnight. She can take care of herself, I'm thinkin. But, I have an almost irrisistable urge to
throw him up against the wall (think Dirty Harry ) and say something like "don't even think about having sex with my daughter punk." Now, why would I even think such a thing. I think I’m seriously prejudiced against a man who wears a tongue ring. I just can’t relate.
I think I'm gettin old.
She just called and said they’re having a great time but she’ll be a little late. Says they have a lot in common. He's a drummer. She's a drummer. He hates seafood. She hates seafood. They both wear ear rings.
An ear ring in his tongue? If he gets another date with her, I’m gonna yank that sucker out. 
Not paranoid anywhere else but here!

Well, I don't have a tongue ring myself, but I know why he does.

She knew about it. She could have warned me.
Now, what fun would *that* be?
Reminds me of when I brought the boyfriend home the first time. He has hair past his shoulders (at the time it was longer than mine). Did I tell my dad? Nope. Tehehehe
Actually, it didn't even phase my dad.....after I showed him my tatoo it's been really hard to get a rise out of him. He didn't even blink when I told him the boyfriend was 24 (I was 19).
Not to scare ya', but I've been with the boyfriend for over 6 years.

mybiddness - I hate to tell you this, but a tongue ring is usually sexual if you know what I mean. On the other hand it is a big fad with both men and women.

OMG - I soooo need to get out more. I am soooo speechless. Hugely embarassed... It's a sex toy? Surely not. Wouldn't that be kinda like the guy who goes on a date with his codom on just in case he gets lucky?

Speaking of burying bodies.... the first date she ever had... nice, sweet young guy. He walks in and hubby is purposely (coincidently) cleaning his guns. He walks over to the boy - puts his arm around his neck and points to the Search and Rescue Vehicle (parked in our driveway) and says something like, "Son, I know where to bury bodies where no one ever finds them." Luckily the kid had a sense of humor about it.
Yes, I'm waiting for her to walk in the door. Bet my first question is gonna be - "Do you know why he wears a tongue ring?" She better have the right answer. LOL

I don't envy you. Instead of asking her, why don't you have your husband get one and see her reaction.

OR better yet - have your husband get one and see YOUR reaction to its use!!!
OR - imagine the wedding ..... do they exchange tongue rings?
Imagine what your relatives will say .....
I used to watch Columbo. If you dump his body be sure to cover him with lime!

Excellent idea.
She got in right after my last post. Tongue ring boy didn't walk her to the door. I followed her to her bedroom... no time to think it all through, but I was dying of curiousity. So, I asked her. "Don't you think it's a little wierd that he wears an ear ring in his tongue?" She does the infamous eye roll with the I'm going to be patient with you because you're so freegin stupid voice and says, "No, I don't think it's wierd. And, we didn't have sex if that's what you're thinking." She proceeds to give me a lecture about judging people based on their looks. Well, duh, I know that lecture - I've given it to her at least a million times.
The worse part is she came in with the "chirpy" voice. That means she had a great time and they'll probably date again. OMG, am I looking at my future son in law? LOL
P.S. Where can I buy a bag of lime?

"We didn't have sex"
Well, at least you know that she knows, and she knows that you know. Don't tell her we told you.

I was having trouble reading, my sight was blurred by tears, as I sat here laughing. Then I thought OMG that could be my beautiful, quiet 18 year old some time. A daughters delight but a mother nightmare.
Play it cool. Have a scotch or two.

Knowing myself as I do - I'll be up all night wondering how she knows? Does everyone know? I must have known subconsciously (sp?) or I wouldn't have had that gut reaction to tell him NOT to have sex with her.
And, did anyone else notice that they were almost an hour late. He sure didn't listen to me dammit. I did talk to her on the cell phone. And, if they were having sex they were doing it in a loud public place... Still, I'm gonna be tossing and turning all night trying to figure out how in the heck she knew what I might have been thinking... which I wasn't... until you all set me straight.
Being a parent is very tiring.

I read the post after the ending. I was disappointed. I wanted to know what kind of sound he made when you ripped that sucker out. I would have thought more along the lines of nailing it to the door jamb and leaving him tethered there.

Maybe he thought of that too, that's why he didn't walk her to the door. I still think burying is better, out of sight out of mind.

The body piercings will heal in time. As for the tattoos... I firmly believe that a tattoo removal clinic will be a money making enterprise 20 years from now.

uaru - that may be true, but I'd never get mine removed, and I'll probably be dead in 20 years.

lol funny
My girls won't be allowed to date til they're 18 and they must move out when they're 18.
I just told them that too. I said the dating age has been bumped up a couple years and remember you have to get out when you're 18. Oldest says we have to get out? (still waking up) said yes, when you're 18. She goes uuuh and rolled her eyes.

I'm off to Sears to buy a padlock for my almost 14 year old daughters bedroom door.
Our kids can't "car date" until 18, unless they are with a group. It's worked pretty well so far, the first two are both over 18 now.
I just try to remember what my hubby looked like the first time my parents met him. Big hair out to there (he's a red head), torn dirty jeans, little beard on his chin, probably under the influence of something. Oh my...

mybidness, my mom's favorite of all my boyfriends was a musician. Long hair, but no tattoos. I just didn't tell her he had toured with Frank Zappa....

mybidness,
Just what I needed. I have been LMAO and am I glad those days are over.
I've forgotten who mentioned the "cleaning gun" incident.
That happened in our house only it was hunting season of some type and D was sitting out in the car with some friends just before time for her to be in the house. Not thinking as usual. Dh finishes cleaning gun, puts it in the crook of his arm, pointing down of course to take the gun outside to put it in his truck. I think nothing of it. Dh comes back in with tears in his eyes he is laughing so hard. Seems,
boys saw the gun. Dh said D came almost flying out the door of the car as the car is turning around in the drive and speeds our of our long drive. Said he'd never seen people move so fast. Wondered what the heck their hurry was.
D comes in the house laughing. She said she didn't know if she was "helped" out of the car or shoved. Said the boys looked up and said, "your dad's got a gun!" Her reply was, "So?" unconcerned herself but obviously not the boys and other girl.
For some reason the boys in our neighborhood have always been just a little intimidated at dh since he made a statement years ago when all kids were 6th, 7th grade at the small country store my parents used to have and there was a little peeking in windows by someone, kids we expected.
Dh casually mentioned that he knew no one would do that at our house because he always kept a loaded gun in the house and he tended to take things of that nature seriously and would, "shoot first and ask questions later".
