Can He Pass The Test?

I am very happy to say that when it comes to boys....Amanda is the pickiest person I've ever known. She desperately wants a "boyfriend", however, no one seems to measure up to her standards. This makes me happy because.... When she does find a boy, he will be a good one..at least I hope!

Well, there is this one boy that she has liked forever..that means 6 months or so. They met at the movies over the summer, but he had a girlfriend up until last week. Now, they are "seeing" each other but not technically going out. Whatever that really means....He seems nice enough, but that only to say that he is one of a very few that has the nerve to come over to our house and meet me.

Amanda and I have what we like to call the "grocery store test". If a boy can pass the grocery store test, then she will continue to pursue them, if not, they are out of there...... I have to say that so far, NO BOYS have ever passed the grocery store test. We go grocery shopping every Sunday afternoon and the "boy" of the day is invited to go with us. The rules are very simple, no throwing anything into the cart (these are our groceries not yours), no throwing food like a football (because Amanda is not impressed), no eyeing or flirting with other girls (bad way to start a relationship), and last but not least....don't act like an idiot (it embarrasses us).

The new boy will be put to the test soon. For Amanda sake and my sanity, I hope this one can pass the test. Not that I am trying to marry her off, but she is less moody and cranky when she has a boyfriend....even if it's for one day.
