Seven

It's so strange getting set up on a date with someone that you don't even know, that doesn't even speak the same language as yourself.

That happened to me on Sunday. A friend of my mother's married an Arab from Jordan. He has three sons, of which she adopted right after the marriage. Myself, mom, and mom's friend were all having lunch this past Sunday. The friend told me that she had just gotten the approval from immigration for the adoption, which she applied for years and years ago. Now it is her duty to find wives for her new three sons, of which has been given to her from her husband.

She told me that her oldest son and I would be perfect together. But he doesn't speak English. And I'm 5 years older than him.

I told her that I'd corrupt him. Somehow. Oh yeah.

Personally, I think the best relationships are those which neither the husband or wife can understand each other. Subtle facial expressions and exasperating sighs are all that is needed for a healthy relationship in 21st century America.
