Thomas is still unmarried at the age of 32.
One day a friend asked, “Why aren’t you married? Can’t you find a woman who will be a good wife?”
Thomas replied, “Actually, I’ve found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn’t like them.”
After giving it some thought, his friend offers the following advice:
“Find a girl who is exactly like your mother.”
They re-connect a few months later, and his friend asks:
“Did you find the ideal girl? Did your mom approve of her?
With a frown on his face, Thomas answers, “Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much.”
The friend said, “Then what’s the problem?”
Thomas replied, “My father doesn’t like her.”
