Her son acts like a pig at home with bad manners but she doesn’t expect him to behave the same way when meeting his girlfriend’s parents. When his girlfriend lays into him and tells him she doesn’t want to see him anymore, his Mom finds it hilarious.
Raised the Right Way
His Mom always instilled manners into him from a young age, ensuring that he said please and thank you. He’d been a well-mannered young boy and she’d always been proud of him whenever they went to restaurants.
Lowering the Tone
At some point, he’d started burping a lot after eating. He’d always do it at home and at his friend’s homes. He always found it comical and so did his friends, but it wasn’t pleasant to be around.
Addressing His Behavior
His Mom always told him off for it when they had dinner together. She’d lecture him on being rude and impolite, but he usually just laughed. It didn’t matter how many times she told him, he’d do it at every meal.
Dad Jumps to His Defense
What didn’t help matters was that his Dad always jumped to his defense. He’d say, “He can’t help it, he just eats quickly!” She told him that was a poor excuse and that he should slow down his eating and stop shoveling it into his mouth.
He Gets the All-clear
His Mom eventually forced him to see a doctor to see if there was a problem with his digestion. She didn’t want to admonish him for something that wasn’t his fault and worried that it could lead to further problems. After a few tests, the doctor gave him a clean bill of health.
It’s Just Bad Manners
As they left, his Mom told him he had no more excuses, it was just plain bad manners! Once again he laughed, finding the whole situation amusing. She rolled her eyes, frustrated at his ignorance.
Admits He Can Control It
As if that wasn’t enough, he said, “I can control it, Mom. I just find it funnier not to!” She found it hard to believe that her once well-mannered son had developed such disgusting habits.
It Wasn’t All Bad
Aside from his bad habits, her son was a good kid and had a lot going for him. He looked after himself and often got attention from girls. If he could ditch the burping, he’d be a great catch for anyone.
A Girl Enters His Life
He told her one evening that he’d met a new girl. He’d been seeing her for a few weeks and really liked her. She was happy for him and told him she looked forward to meeting her.
Things Progress Quickly
It was then that he said, “Funny you should say that, she’s asked me to meet her parents on Saturday!” He hadn’t progressed to that stage of a relationship before so his parents were really pleased for him. Her parents were in town and keen to meet her new boyfriend.
An Upmarket Date
He told her that they were treating him to dinner at a really expensive restaurant in town. They’d said he could order what he wanted and just relax and enjoy himself. They wanted him to feel completely at ease.
A Bad Outcome
When he arrived home after his date, she noticed that he was visibly upset, and on the brink of tears. He wasn’t his usual bubbly self and looked deflated and a little bit depressed. She asked him what was wrong.
A Firm Telling Off
He said that his girlfriend had laid into him after dinner for burping all the way through his meal. He said he was absolutely mortified and couldn’t believe it when she suddenly had a go at him, in front of her parents!
She Told Him He’s a Pig
Trying not to laugh, his Mom kept a straight face. He went on to say that she’d called him a pig and that she was dumping him! While it hurt her to see her son so upset, she struggled to contain the laughter.
She Laughs at His Predicament
She bursts out laughing in front of her son and he looks horrified. She tells him that she feels really bad for him, but she’d been telling him for months to stop doing it. She said that this might be the turning point that makes him address his manners!
A Sympathetic Ear
When she hears him telling his Dad later on, she can’t help but laugh again. Her husband says she’s wrong to make fun of him. She says that she’s told him a MILLION times and this is a consequence of his actions.
Left Heartbroken
Seeing how devastated he is, she tells him to try calling her and apologizing. He says he’s tried but it’s going straight to voicemail. She encourages him to leave a message and explain how bad he feels about it.
One More Chance
A few days later, he tells her he’s over the moon that his girlfriend is giving him another chance. She made it clear that he can’t do anything like that again. He’s desperately sorry and asks if she can visit that evening for dinner.
A Final Shock
At dinner, she’s shocked to see her son’s behavior. He tucks his girlfriend’s chair in, tops her drink up when her glass is empty, and doesn’t burp once! The perfect manners. She realizes that the girlfriend is a keeper who possesses magic skills!
