Thorsten-Mom, are those people over there married?
I glance over to a table where a man and a woman sit, next to each other, tightly holding hands and whispering into each others ears.
-No, they are on a date.
-How do you know?
-Well, they seem all giddy and happy to be here, randomly on a Wednesday afternoon.
-What do you do when you date?
Julian- You take them to a movie.
Mom-You can.
Thorsten- I would take them bowling.
Sebastian- Can we change the subject?
Julian- NO, I need to learn.
Mom- Are you ready to date?
Julian- I was born ready.
Thorsten- Mom, didn't Julian have his first kiss when he was 4?
Mom- I guess, blame your dad.
Thorsten- Why?
Sebastian- Dad had his first girlfriend when he was in 2. grade.
Julian- WHAT? No fair, I'm in second grade!!
Mom- Do you want a girlfriend?
Julian- Yes, but there are sooo many to choose from!
Thorsten- Maybe you could have her at our house and I could make you dinner, I could be a waiter....
Mom- You just want to learn from him.
Sebastian is moaning, Thorsten is laughing hysterically.
Thorsten- Yes!
Julian- I'll be the guinea pig, can I?? Please?
Mom- No.
Thorsten- How do you know who to date?
Mom- You get butterflies thinking about that person.
Thorsten- Do I have to marry them?
Sebastian pipes in- No! Dad said you should date at least 50 people and be 30 years old.
Mom- Did he now?
Thorsten- How old were you?
Mom- 24, but that was not okay.
Thorsten- So, you did something wrong?
Mom- Just saying, you guys have to be at least 30.
Julian- SOOOOO, if I start dating now, I date 1 person a month until I'm 30 I could have like 80 girlfriends??
Mom- Something like that. But, you don't want a new girlfriend every month do you?
Julian-ABSOLUTELY!
Sebastian- Does this count as our "talk" that you keep threatening me with? Because this was pretty awful. Thanks for ruining lunch.
