geminigirlMom: "Are there men in Baltimore?"
Me: "Of course. Baltimore has a huge Jewish population too."
Mom:"Oh, that's even better."
Me: Yeah, something like a third of Jews in Baltimore self identify as Orthodox."
Mom: "Well don't go coming home with any of those Orthodox types, okay?"
Me:"I couldn't keep doing what I'm doing if I did, Mom."
(There's a reason I'm discussing Baltimore with my mother. I'm not discussing it on here yet. But in discussing the actual reason I'm discussing Baltimore, my mother has to turn the conversation to this.)

Date: 2003-07-14 01:42 pm (UTC)I was amused though, a while back, when it had come up yet again and she said something about "an order of preference when doing things." As if I should skip the marriage part and go on to the baby part.
The thing is, while I'd like to find a male partner because I like that kind of energy for day to day stuff, space sharing, etc. I don't like assuming that that's the way it will be...and she makes it out that way.
