The Top 12 Signs Your Parents Don't Approve of Your Date
- "Betty should be down in a minute... she's putting on her cold sore medicine. Say, son, you ever see a real hemorrhoid up close?"
- It's difficult to set the mood with that distracting red dot from Daddy's scope on his forehead.
- Mom keeps checking his head for sixes.
- After quietly bailing you out, they didn't bother sending the Secret Service guys back to get *him* out of jail, too.
- They just stare at him like they've never seen anyone with a pierced eyeball before.
- "So, Chris, is it? Listen, funny-boy, if you want to keep dating my little girl, you're going to have to get a REAL job."
- You roll in around midnight, and your mother's there waiting at the door with a field sobriety test and a syringe full of penicillin.
- They didn't even like him when he was *their* high school gym teacher.
- Every time they smell him coming, they start whistling the "Old Spice" theme.
- They insist that you go upstairs and change. Into a lesbian.
- Your dad keeps attaching refrigerator magnets to his face piercings.
and the Number 1 Sign Your Parents Don't Approve of Your Date...
- Dinner was going so well until your father said, "Tell your slut to pass the broccoli."
