I was on the Tube one day when I saw a mother and daughter saying goodbye to another woman on the platform. This woman was probably in between in the ages of the mother and daughter. Almost as soon as the doors closed, they began discussing the third woman who, it transpired, was the daughter's new partner and they had all just been out for a meal together. This took place next:
Mother: Oh, she's really nice.
Daughter: I know, isn't she?
Mother: Completely. I think this one's a keeper.
[Richard: Awww. How sweet.]
Daughter: Hmmm, we aren't without our problems though. I think it's because of the age difference.
[Richard: Oh that's a shame]
Daughter: Maybe it's because she's a little older that explains why she's so demanding in bed.
[Richard: WHAT???!! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT TO YOUR MUM!]
Daughter: Ooh shall I book you in for a facial?
[Richard: I've heard of sharing but this is ridiculous! What type of family is this?]
After listening to them discuss times and dates for a few minutes, it suddenly dawned on me that the daughter had suddenly changed the subject to beauty treatments and was not, in fact, inviting her mother the to sample the wares of her new partner. I had to work extremely hard to suppress my laughter. What a thing to discuss with your mother on the Tube! Demanding sexual partners and facials: welcome to the 2010's, people.
