I have a female coworker who is in her mid-fifties. She also lives twenty minutes away from me and we share the same ethnic background. She told me that her son lives couple of minutes away from me with his girlfriend and a dog and is working as a nurse. His girl"friend" is not working and just got accepted into an Ivy League school to major in chemistry. That was a year ago. Six month later, she tells me that they are engaged to get married "because the girlfriend wanted that". I ran into her today and jokingly asked if she's expecting any grandchildren. Well, I do not have to tell you what her reply was...
