Among the myriad of crappy dating shows on MTV, there is one called Date My Mom. A guy would go out on dates with three girls' mothers and then decide which girl he wanted to go out with.

Well, I'm doing the reverse of that. Since the Freudin is 14,000 miles away, I had dinner with her mom. And her dad. And her brother. Hey I'm not going to turn down a free meal. And I figure if I get in good with the family, it'll be harder for her to get rid of me.
