Bathroom Graffiti and Love
Today my parents are celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
They met in high school and my mom claims she knew he was THE ONE from the first moment she saw him. He was drool-worthy, she tells me, and quite the catch. He, on the other hand, didn’t know she existed. At least not until he took some advice from an ill-informed source.
Apparently someone had written my mother’s phone number on the men’s room wall at their school. “For a good time call Donna at ###-####.”
What do you expect a hot-rod-driving, bad boy with an attitude to do? He called.
Although his intentions were anything but honorable, and I’m sure he was quite disappointed to learn his date had other ideas of what constituted a good time, I do think my dad would say it’s the best bathroom tip he’s ever received.
Unfortunately for him, even with 37 years of marriage, three grown children and a lifetime of memories that keep my parents holding hands everywhere they go, my mom (and her children) still won’t let my dad live down the fact that he actually called a phone number written on the the wall of a bathroom, and asked for a date.
Congratulations to your Mom and Dad, 37 years, way to go
!
that’s an awesome story

what a cute story!!! something like what i’d read out of my romance porn.
girl longs for boy; boy doesn’t notice girl; boy suddenly notices girl and then boy wants to pounce on girl; girl can’t seem to decide what to do with his “ill-meaning intentions”; girl gives in, can’t deny her feelings anymore; girl and boy fall in love..hahha.. ok, i’m rambling too much here!
37 years is really an amazing time together!
Please say congrats to them for me!

Friendships can start in the strangest ways!!! Congratulations to Doug and Donna … marriage can be the toughest relationship two people have and I have the greatest respect when two people really ‘work’ at it!

Thats a very cute story. I wont mention where my hubby and I met but its not at all what you would call romantic “sleezy” might be a better word. But 13 years and tow children later its still a great story.

this is my most favorite story yet. I just met a couple last night who were celebrating their 61st wedding anniversary. WOW. I barely made it to 7 and then it ended. Ah well.

I love the way she keeps him ‘grounded’ in who they were. When you are married for many years (especially with kids) you can start to forget who you were when you met. It takes thought to revive that.
This is SUCH a sweet story.

What a story of “tell me about your first date”!

Thanks for visiting my blog…nice to meet you! (I’ve actually lurked here before!)
