... I guess it's just been one of those days... This fell straight out of my head on seeing a pop-up for a movie trailer. Of course, this is totally tongue-in-cheek (ooops... walked right into that one!) but it set me wondering, is this REALLY what it means to be emancipated??? ... :)) xx

THE MODERN GIRL’S BOYFRIEND
MEETS THE FOLKS


Mama, I’d like you to meet my brand new boy!
Yes, he’s a little different – too young, you say?
But surely not a Toy! Me, I’m a wee bit older,
more experienced, can teach him a thing or two.
But at least with him I can lead the way
and never be (too!) blue.

He has no rough edges and I can puff him up just fine.
He lets me pay the bills and in his presence shine.
He’s the (extra) strong and silent type, lets me have my say;
AND he’s always there for me at the end of a long, hard day.

I don’t cook for him, clean nor wash his shirts.
He don’t go out boozing or with his mates share my dirt.

Don’t worry, Daddy, he’s kind and won’t let me down.
If he can’t keep up with me, I’ll just smile,
let him be and never frown. I won’t come crying
if he never shares his views: I know that he loves me,
cos he ain’t never had to choose. He’s mine and
mine alone, ain’t never had no other flings or girls.
His wide, loving eyes gaze only at me, like pearls.

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for inviting us this weekend.
I’m so glad you’ve accepted my new boyfriend.
I’m sorry he don’t seem hungry for your
“meal to tempt a Groom!” I think we’re just tired from
the journey, need to get to our bedroom…
