This mother’s letter to Slate amused me because she thought her son wasn’t having enough fun at college. He wasn’t drinking, getting high or screwing around enough for her. Furthermore, she suspects he is still a virgin. Do you hear me — a virgin. He is studying, for Christ’s Sake, why would he be doing that at college when he could be chugging beer, hitting on bongs and fucking strangers?
She asks the Slate Advice Columnist whether she should intervene. What exactly is she going to do? You are going to that keg party, Mister, you are going to get drunk and you are going to laid or else I stop paying for your tuition and I don’t mean maybe. It’s sweet, in a way, that she wants him to have fun but she is taking this hip mom routine way too far.
Here is a thought maybe he is having all that fun but he is just better at hiding it because he knows his snoopy Mom wants to know absolutely everything about his life.
