Mother%27s Bad Date Guide

Warsan Shire

The date started off on the wrong foot when my mom's suitor, a man named Bob, arrived an hour late, wearing a garish orange jumpsuit. Yes, you read that right - an orange jumpsuit. I was already sensing a trainwreck in the making.

Last night, I had the misfortune of witnessing my mother's disastrous date, which I'll lovingly refer to as "Mother's Bad Date." It was a night filled with awkward encounters, cringe-worthy moments, and non-stop laughter. As her child, it was both entertaining and embarrassing to watch.

As the evening drew to a close, Bob walked my mom home, still attempting to charm her with his, ahem, unique brand of awkwardness. As they said their goodbyes, I could sense the relief emanating from my mom. It was clear that there wouldn't be a second date.
