I overheard an interesting conversation in the grocery store near my house today. An older man (in his 70s) ran into a younger man (in his 40s), of whom he had know his parents. Here's a snippet of the conversation:
Older Man: So, how are you? Are you married now?
Younger Man: No, I don't marry 'em...I just live with them!
Cashier: That's not what you're supposed to do!
Younger Man: Well, if I never any of 'em, I won't have to divorce any of 'em either.
Cashier: No, you need to marry them! When I graduate in a few years and become a lawyer, I'll need your money! I can represent you.
That certainly wasn't the reason I expected her to give for him to marry them. A sad sign of the times...
