Ok, if turning 40 was not a brutal enough reminder that the clock is ticking, my 82-year-old mother called from Canada to pour on even more pressure.

Often, she turns the conversation to the fact that I have yet to get married and have yet to produce grandchildren who can mow her lawn, do her shopping and other such chores. Not that I'd ever let my kids be slaves to their granny, but that's not the point.

So anyway, lately, she's not brought up the topic. Then, the other day, we are talking on the phone and she starts talking about "lifestyle choices" and other words that I'm sure she got from some woman's magazine. The conversation goes something like this:

"Mom....do you think I'm gay or something?"

"No, of course not, Michael. But if you _were_ gay, it would be OK with me." (Holy ****! My own mom thinks I'm gay!)

"Mom, I can't believe you think I'm gay." She says, "No, of course not! I would never think that. But I just want you to know that as your mother, if you _were_ gay, I'd still love you." Gee, thanks mom!

I mean, if I never dated women, and if I spent an unusually large number of weekends going to resort spas with male friends, OK, I could see her logic. But as this is not the case, it seems that her only "evidence" is that it's not "normal" for a man to be 40 and unmarried.

OK, fair enough, my hometown is a small logging town full of red-necks, but from my own mother! Damn! I wonder how many other single guys get this kind of abuse from their moms.

Wait until you're 40, David, then we'll talk. Haha

Gay is just da guy who wanna guys.. lol I can see the greatest love of ur mom, however!! You are such a lucky gay.. oops i mean guy!!.. ahahahahaha

Dont worry. I once had a girl ask me if I was gay after I had slept with her.

Yeah, I had that once, too. I couldn't figure out why. She said it was becuase I wanted to talk after ward. Go figure?!

Lol....hard to believe>>funny!>>But not funny anymore!<(Mom!-)

Can I prove if you were gay? (~^.*~)
