Final Countdown
Last night on the skype webcam with Mom and Dad.
Mom: "So I'm going to be 59 this year and I think that it would be great if you can get married before I turn 60"
Me: "Mom" (said strongly)
Mom: "But I'm getting old, I should be a grandmother by now"
Me: "Talk to your son about that" (said jokingly)
Mom: "Why not! It takes time for these things to happen and you insist on finding someone on your own, so it'll take longer. If you were doing arranged it would be quicker"
Me: "Mo-om" (said even more strongly)
Me: "Daddy! Mom is saying she wants me to get married before she turns 60, talk to her" (said loudly so that dad will hear me from the other room)
Dad: "You're a grown up now, you can make your own decisions"
Me: "I love you Daddy!" (said lovingly)
Mom: "I just want to be able to dance at your wedding, I should be able to be happy at your wedding and not be too old"
Me: "I promise you'll be happy whenever it happens, but before you are 60 means this summer, its not going to happen" (said honestly)
Dad: "Just try and get married before I turn 70, ok beta?"
Me: "Ok Daddy, I'll try" (said resignedly)
The countdown has started, I have 4 years.
