-
My only comfort now is the long-standing tradition of torturing the boyfriend
-
What do you mean?
-
You know, the time-honored hazing that goes on
-
In those few moments we share where he and I are alone
-
Just before my daughter descends the stairs.
-
I remember the terror of meeting my date's old man.
-
- What did he do? - Checked my wallet for condoms,
-
Showed me his gun collection.
-
My hands were shaking so bad, I could barely put corsage on
-
What'd your dad do?
-
I... I don't know. I was in my room.

How was your date when you finally came out
