Am I Getting Punk’d?
This is quite amusing. This evening in my GMail inbox (I never even wanted a GMail account, I just wanted to test it out!) there was another (on top of the other twenty something responses I recieved and due to receive more due to the fact I linked my personal ad to my weblog) response. However, the message itself was different. It was titled “hold your hat”. I mean, I wasn’t going to trash it just because there wasn’t a picture attached (even though to me that’s a complete must). I continued to read. Get this. Without her son’s knowing, a mother decided to respond to my ad for her son. Am I getting punk’d? No seriously, this has to be a joke. I mean it’s one thing to try and set your son up with a nice, young woman but it’s another to secretly dish out the dirt on your son to some personal ad. If that was me and I found out, I’d be really mad. All I’d be thinking is “what did you tell her?”. Of course, after a few simple converses I ended discussion with his mother. At least she likes me even though I haven’t met her. It’s a little strange, don’t you think?
That’s just pushing it. Too far.

Welcome to the internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are the police!
@Archie,
It was strange. Just really, really strange. I know it’s the Internet and everything, but at least show some respect for those parties involved. It’s different (very out on a tree branch) for a parent to browse the Internet responding to ads for their kids. At least they are trying to help, but on the other hand it’s too much.
