Application to Date My Daughter

Okay, I have to join the fun here.  SuzyScribbles posted a nice Friday Show&Tell advertisement offering her son for marriage.  He might be quite the catch -- he is a very handsome Christian man and he loves babies and children. He is an engineering student at the university, and his mother is famous!  Well, Suzy, I have four beautiful girls for whom we are husband shopping.  Please have Andrew fill out this application.  And Ryan, too, while you're at it, since processing takes 4-6 years. (And please don't be offended at the personal nature of some of the questions.  ALL interested men must fill out this application.)

Thank you for your interest. Please allow four to six years for processing. You will be notified in writing if you are approved. Please do not try to call or write. If you do attempt any communication before your application is approved, automatic disqualification will result.

If your application is rejected, you will be notified by two gentlemen wearing white ties and carrying violin cases (You might want to watch your back).

Do you still want to date  my daughter?
_____ Yes, please accept my application
_____ I um, no, I uh, think I have the wrong house...

EDITOR'S POSTSCRIPT:  Some of you said you aren't doing the dating thing.  We aren't doing the dating thing, either.  Lord willing, I will have four sons-in-law named Mark ("Mark the perfect man," Ps. 37:37). God will just make four pure and perfect young men out of thin air and direct them out here to the wilderness where my daughters will be when it is time to marry. God knows where we are, and I have no doubt the only four eligible men in America will find us.

  4. Okay that is to funny. I think I need to copy that off and have it ready for my daughter since she is fifteen and has guys asking her out. (Of course, she has to tell them no, but maybe this application would deter them.)

  10. Get ready for your first application. Andrew thought my entry was hilarious and your application funny. He needs a good laugh, since he called to tell me he thinks he just failed a major math test ("You know that idea about my changes majors?" he said). We have brightened his day considerably.

    I'll e-mail it when he sends it--just for a laugh.

    This is the "handsome young son" as pictured. Yes, I am stuck in the far, frozen reaches of Eastern Washington. However, I am still accepting applications. I will be home for Spring break and over the summer and will review the applications then. Oh, and I am not going to kill my own mother. I love her way too much!

  18. I laughed from the line about I.Q. forward. My husband and I have talked many times about the young men at church, and how we don't have a clear candidate yet (smile). I also know that the Lord has a sense of humor when it comes to the best-laid plans of men. I'll keep your application handy so that perhaps we can confirm His choice.
