Want to hear something ironic?

[shutterfire]

My daughter is a student at North Texas and anyway she has a boyfriend now! Okay so my daughter goes too meet the boyfriends mother who lives in McKinney. Their meeting went well she comes home and tells my wife and I all about the meal and says "Well his mom is a photographer" isnt that a kicker but couldnt tell me the name of her photography buisness and only knows her as Ms ....... or Jacobs mother. Now wouldnt it be interesting if she were a TPF member!

Did you Google 'Mrs. Jacob's Mother's Photography'?

[shutterfire]

No I did not because my daughter could not remember her last name go figure?

[KJ Smith]

How embarrassed will your daughter be if the other person is a member and reads this thread?

But where's the irony?

What would really be ironic if he was a photographer and active on TPF.

At least any potential meeting of the "in-laws" will much more interesting.

P.S. What if she hates Nikon?

It would be even stranger if the mom or son has been in the Human Form section...

Any chance the mother's last name is the same as her son's. Or am I just being old fashioned?

No reference to Eldon's daughter, but that isn't a given, either. When I photographed proms, I can't tell you the number of times one would turn to the other, when signing the list, and ask, seriously, "What's your last name?"

Better for that to happen at prom, rather than after prom (or the next morning for teens gone wild). Gulp!

Kevin : Nothing to be embarrassed about. My daughter thinks its great.

Chris: If she hates Nikon its her loss. I am sure we could bridge that one. Ha HA!

Mike: That is just creepy!

David: My daughter told me in all of her classes in high school that she was the only one that had parents that were still married to each other.

Todd: thats funny ha ha.

Well, let's start going down our TPF list of McKinney photogs. :)

This is exactly what I was about to ask. Irony is not a black fly in your Chardonnay or a death row pardon, two minutes to late. Now, to make this situation ironic, you could have said this:

My daughter is going to UNT, just like her old man did 30 years ago. She met the man of her dreams there and went home to meet his single mom. Knowing that I've been desperately looking everywhere for a true love without success for the last fifteen years, she decided to hook us both up on a blind date and see what happened. Guess what, not only is she the girl of my dreams, but it turns out that she's also a photog, she's also on TPF, she actually lives just a block down the street, goes to the same church as I do AND we were even at UNT the same time 30 years ago!
