um..uh...I got nothing here...I've never really worn a slip...har har
In my family everyone paid their own bill. Always.
In Kevin's family, the first one to do an end around and sneak the bill from the server first gets to pay.
If Kevin is present, he will win this game.
I think it turns around when you get older. I'd have a fit before I let my parents pay for dinner when we go out. They're retired now and on a fixed income.
But I hear you about the slips. The one I have, my mother bought. LOL
My mother bought my slips too! LOL How very funny (and odd) that everyone seems to have this same occurrance.
As for dinners out, it now seems that when my parents come for a visit (they are 9 hours from us) WE pay when we go out but if we go there they pay. Not sure why, maybe it's a territorial thing. My husbands parents always pay, unless his grandparents are there and then they pay.
I am so impressed and DEPRESSED that you guys can still wear the slips that your mother bought you! I haven't been able to wear those since I was twelve.
Where's my chocolate . . . .
Um, Di, my mother bought the slip when I was an ADULT.
Oh my goodness, I laughed my brains out when I read your comment, C!!!! Okay, I feel better. ROTFLOL!!!
Maybe slips are the new white gloves. Something your mother wants to pass on like Southern manners.
We always try to pay for Grandpa too C, he's on a fixed income, but he'll never let us. He enjoys that he can do it. It gives him pride he did so well with his money.
Slips? What's a slip?
;)
Paying for food goes to seniority, of course!! Standard family law ... or so I thought until this post. Kristin, you've opened my eyes to a whole new world of paying for meal tickets. And, I think I'll sweep that idea under the rug becuase so far, I'm the youngest and always eat FREE! :) :) :)
Okay that slip thing? Makes me want to go clean out my drawers immediately, as if I'm doing it for you, lol. You crack me up, Kristin (and unfortunately, I'm older than you, so I guess we won't be going to lunch anytime soon either, hahaha)
We go Dutch with friends, except my best friend who is a teacher and has to pay for her Beamer. Lunch is always my treat, it's a contribution to the California School System and my best friend SHOULD be driving a Beamer. LOL
Oh my stars what thoughts! Kristin, I'll buy you a Starbucks at conference, being senior and all. But I will NOT bring you a slip.
What about pantyhose? Are those still in the mix? LOL
Don't feel bad, Di. I can't wear any of my grade school clothes, either - slips included. But then, I'm taller than I was then. Right? That works, doesn't it? Besides, all my old slips from age 12 had yards and yards of nylon net.
Funny, that reminds me of the time we were having square dancing at school. My slip fell OFF, and the boy I was dancing with picked it up and stuffed it in his pocket! I wanted to die. No wonder I hate slips.
LOL! I knew there was a reason I suddenly thought of this blog when I was feeling low. I'm snorting from stifling laughter and it's a crowded room.
When we go out to eat my parents BETTER pay. I'm on scholarship and working in the tutoring center. But when I take my younger cousins out to eat and go to the movies, I pay for their food just because I feel bad for them spending their own money!
Slips? What?! People still wear those? I have 8 pairs of dress pants, so I probably wouldn't know :) but yeah, Mom bought me one when I was in grade school. Pffft. It's...somewhere.
I am really feeling normal about my slip issue. Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you!!
Kristin, this is great! So funny, the unspoken family rules we all have. My family (and thankfully), Mark's family are the same on this issue - the elders pay. Every now and then, when it's a special occasion for them - we pay and there's no argument there. As for slips, it is very possible that my mom purchased the one I have, which is eons old and unworn in almost as long.....Too funny!
