Robin’s 2¢:
A teenager brought her new boyfriend home to meet her parents, who were appalled by his haircut, tattoos, and piercings.
Later, the girl’s mom said, “Dear, he doesn’t seem to be a very nice boy.”
“Oh, please, Mom,” replied the daughter. “If he wasn’t nice, would he be doing 500 hours of community service?”
