A young man called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the woman of his dreams! Now what should he do?

His mother advised: “Send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your place for a home-cooked meal!”

So that’s what he did. His mother called the day after the big date to see how things had gone.

“The evening was a disaster,” he moaned.

“Why, didn’t she come over?” asked his mother.

“Oh, she came over, but she didn’t bring any groceries and she refused to cook!”
