Wow. You're a charmer...no doubt. My ex boyfriend's mother never asked me any awkward personal questions, so I falsely assumed that she was easygoing. Turned out that whenever I said something mildly offensive (like calling someone stupid), she'd say something like, "that's not nice". I'm not sure about anyone else, but I hate being scolded by, #1 someone elses' mother, and #2 for something so trivial. Funnily enough, I ended up living with her. I'm still picking the eggshells out of my feet from that.
