So I may or may not be being set up...

BY MY FRIEND’S MOM?!

That’s besides the point.  Here’s what her Mom told him

Are you just being shy about meeting Kyle?  Trust me, she’s not shy, so don’t worry about the conversation being dull.  She’s a “nice Catholic girl”… went to Loretto High School and her mother still works there.  I’m afraid she won’t take no for an answer now…   Who does that sound like??  Trust me, though…  she’s really fun, and funny…  you saw her picture… she’s really pretty, too.

My favorite?  “She’s not shy, so don’t worry about the conversation being dull”. I’ll admit, that is really me.  In a nutshell.  Of course I forwarded the entire email to my wife and my other single-lady-partner-in-crime, Teresa.  What she said back really takes the cake:

Get rid of the facial hair and you should be all over it…and if he can hang with his sister and all her friends he can definitely put up with you, your mom, your sisters and all of us village-idiots….

And THIS my friends is why people will want to be my Derota.  Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by people this awesome?!
