Three's a Crowd

I got ready for my blind date, excited, since it had been a few months since my last date. The friend that set me up mentioned that Brad was very close to his family. Sounded good to me. We had had a few conversations over the phone over the past week, and he seemed like a nice enough guy. The doorbell rang and I took one last pass in front of the mirror before I ran downstairs to open it. Tall, blonde hair and blue eyes, nice. But next to him, was a woman about 50 years old or so, looking strikingly like him. Brad introduced me to, yup, you guessed it, his mother. I've heard you can always tell how a guy will treat you by how he treats his mother. I just wasn't expecting to see it in action on our first date. First and last date.
