She Likes Basketball

Well this I find kinda ironic because of Promises, Promises.

So my dad was invited to a party by his college roommate, Thor. The host (I don’t think I ever met the guy) said there was this girl there that he wanted my dad to meet. My dad goes to the party. He meets my mum.

His pickup line: “Do you like basketball?”

WHAT KIND OF GREETING IS THAT?! Funny enough, my mum loves basketball! Her dad was the basketball coach for Dickinson College and before that the high school. My mum herself was in the first girls basketball team for her school. OF COURSE SHE LIKES BASKETBALL! (cue song SHE LIKES BASKETBALL) They have been married for about 30 (or somethin’) years and are still together.

So the funny thing: dad goes to his friend and says that yes he did meet the girl and he really likes her. His friend said that she wasn’t it. Well I guess that’s actually good luck on his part.
