Parents Preparing For The Talk Mugs

'All I know is when it's the 'birds and bees' it's about sex; and when it's the 'bulls and bears' it's about money.'

"Your wonderful daughter and I would like to become engaged in F.Y. '97, married in F.Y. '98, and if the numbers look good, start a family in F.Y. '99."

"What's that mark on your arm, Mama?"

"In economics, I got an IOU."

"You never told me your dad was so delightfully old-fashioned."

Something tells me it's not going to be a good school report!

"Raymond's prospects look good, Daddy. . . He's pretty sure he's picked all six lotto numbers!"

"My daughter tells me you want to become a doctor."

'I have answers to the kind of questions no one likes to ask.'

"I got all Z's because I fell asleep in class."

'I should warn you about my father. He's a landscape gardener.'

“I have to warn you - my parents are a bit old-fashioned.”

"Boss, I guarantee you that my intentions with your daughter are serious."

"You may be in love, but can you support my daughter on what a herring makes?"

"I'll bet she was worn out by the end of teacher's meeting day."

"He has the tweeting skills of a man twice his age."

"I thought those D's meant dedicated!"

'Every child is an artist but it appears your Candice is a plumber.'

First love.

"So this is the Mr. Waring who has made such a great impression on my little girl."

'Before we begin, he's the one that's been helping me with my homework.'

"I'm sorry, but your child just isn't very sharp. But don't worry. It's perfectly natural."

"I'm afraid these grades aren't giving me a very satisfying vicarious life."

'It's only fair Geraldine. I had to meet your parents.'

"In fact, the work's been so good that we question whether it's Will's own."

"Sorry I'm late with my grades. I was busy removing the 'Honor Roll' bumper sticker from the car."

'Are you sure the children get plenty of exercise'

"Mom, this is Sarah, the friend I was telling you about."

"If it slows down, just ask my father about the murder he always swears he did not commit."

'Well, Eddy may look a bit rough, but he's good at heart - last week, he bought stocks from a company which produces cuddly puppy toys in pink ballet dresses!'

"I don't need your help with my homework. Actually, I was a little disappointed with your work last time."

Well, wish me luck. Mom and dad can handle an 'A' and two 'B's, but I've REAL-L-L-L-Y got to spin the 'D' in math!

"I'm sorry-his I.Q. is actually on the charts."

'Can I help it if she's a rotten teacher?'
