Living With Your Parents

A

Why did your girlfriend break up with you?

B

I don’t know, she said she was tired of me not manning up and being more independent, which I think is all a bunch of crap.

A

Well, you still live with your parents, so she does have a point.

B

What do you mean? Lots of people live with their parents, especially when rent isso expensive andthe slump inthe economy.

A

Yeah, but you are almost forty! Plus, you make good money so there is really no excuse. It’s simply because you are a momma’s boy.

B

Whatever dude, I have everything I need, why would I move out! Have a great roof over my head, my mom does my laundry and cooks for me, what else could a guy ask for!

A

Let’s agree to disagree.
