Mother Reed immediately said, "I didn't ask you to go on a blind date. You've been on so many, and still haven't found anyone you like. Mom knows you don't want to get married, fine, I won't force you to get married..."
Before Mother Reed could finish, Mark Reed laughed, "Mom, since when did you become so understanding? How did you suddenly come to terms and stop forcing me to get married?"
Mother Reed said, "I won't force you to get married, but you must give me a grandson. Once you give me a grandson, you can do whatever you like, and I won't bother you anymore."
Mark Reed was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. He knew things wouldn't be that simple. Ever since his father went to prison, his mom developed an obsession with having a grandson, and he had to give her one.
"Mom, isn't this still forcing me to get married? How else would I have a grandson without getting married?"
