They’d been boyfriend and girlfriend for some time, she invited him over to her house to dine. She wanted to introduce him to mom and dad, but what she said next made him very glad. “We’ll make love for our first time after our dinner date,” the ideas running through his head, that this was great. Before Friday night, he had to go get some condoms at the store, this was something that he had never bought before. He asked the pharmacist what would be the best to try, there’s way too many choices from which to buy. The pharmacist talked about an hour explaining them all, but in the end told that young lad it was his call. He asked the kid if he wanted a three pack, ten pack, or family pack, he selected the family pack, if he got busy, he wouldn’t have to come back. Friday night he rang the doorbell, answered by his girl as fast as she was able, she told him to come in, everyone was already at the table. When he met her mom and dad, he quickly volunteered to say the grace, and that as a guest for the meal, thought it was his place. He bowed his head, and began to pray, after 3 minutes, he was still that way. Finally after 10 minutes went by, she was wondering about her guy. Twenty minutes, and still no change, she was thinking that something was strange. She elbowed him a time or two, whispered, “I have a question for you. Are you that religious?, that is something I’d have never guessed,” he replied, “yeah, just like finding out your dad was a pharmacist”
