David Applebaum called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met a young lady of excellent character named Rachel who interested him very much. What should he do?
Mrs. Applebaum had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your apartment for a home-cooked meal? Show her that I raised a boy who knows his way around the kitchen!"
David thought this was a great idea, and a week later, Rachel came to dinner. Mrs. Applebaum called the next day to see how things had gone.
"I was totally humiliated," David moaned. "Rachel insisted on washing the dishes."
"What's wrong with that?" asked his mother.
"We hadn't started eating yet."
