TIFU by telling my mother what movie I was watching.

Because I do not want children. She thinks that because I do not want children that I must be gay. I told her that all it is the fact I do not like kids, and would make a bad father. I have also been in a rut as of late with my dating. I have not found any one worthy of "the meet the mother" stage. So she thinks I am not dating, when I just keep finding duds. I do not like sports, I am a nerd. I also mind my weight, and work out. I do not like beer, but I drink gin. I love to read and took a women's lit. class in college. I am one of those shy people who like to keep to my self.

I see nothing wrong with people living their life the way they want to, and defend any one being discriminated. This has led to a lot of confrontations with my step-father, who is kind of a bigot. Lets just say I am civil to him for her sake. She has been getting on my case rather hard as of late to marry and have children.

The icing on the cake is my mother is friends with my crush at the moments mother. Me and her (my crush) share a lot in common, and get along great. I was working up the nerve to make a move and now this is going to set me back a bit. My only light in this is that she knows my mother is not the sharpest tool in the shed, and kind of lives in her own world. My sister has already texted/talked to me and she finds this very amusing. She told me my mother wants to go shopping with me because as she put it. " The gays know what is in fashion."

Still this holiday season is going to be murder with her and my step-father. He will make this very hard on me. I can hear it now. "Hey fruitloop, pass the gravy."

I really should of never put this on the interwebz, but laughter is the best meds as they say. So laugh it up, I hope in a few years I will join you in that.
