I am embarrassed to say tell mine, but here it goes...

My sophmore year of highschool I got invited to the Prom by a good friend. He said we were going to go as a double date with our mutual friend and her blind date from another school. Well, the blind date, Sam, ended up liking me and me him so a few weeks after the prom he asked me out...never went out just went to his house to meet his parents. His mom had Lou Garics (sp?) disease and she was pretty lonely. I didn't shy away from her like they said most people did. I just went in and talked to her as if nothing was wrong with her. Then I met his brother, Ernie, and I knew I had just met the biggest GEEK ever! He had really thick (and I mean really thick glasses!) and he had a tousled look because he had just woke up. He was in jeans and a t-shirt with a flannel shirt and I remember thinking how goofy he looked. That started a daily routine of my going over after school and keeping her company while her husband and Ernie did yard work or ran to the grocery store. Sam was always at work and I never saw him. About three weeks of sitting with his mom and he was sick of me and said he never wanted to see me again.

Well his mom wasn't sick of me. I was the only company she got. So the daily visits continued through the summer and into my Junior year. I even stayed over a couple of weekends to help with her care when she got really bad. During this time Ernie had developed a crush on me LOLOL the downside, I was 16 and he was 24. I had not interest in him and didn't know he had a crush. My mom eventually put a stop to my visiting his mom and I never saw her again. She died three months later.
After his mom died, Ernie and his dad started coming to our house to visit our family. Mostly because they were lonely and didn't know what to do with themselves and my parents always let them stay for dinner. I think my mom felt guilty about things. So six months later and Ernie finally asked me out, but we kept it quiet because he was 25 by this time and I still had 4 months before I would turn 18.

We are now married and have 4 kids and Sam is the idiot brother in law.
