Double Date

I didn't date a lot when I was a teen and young adult.  When I met my husband I could count my prior dates on one hand.  So, I didn't double date much then, and I certainly never expected to double date with a grandson.


Our 16 year old grandson is currently living with us.  He recently met a girl at his high school.  After spending quite a bit of time talking and "hanging out,"  they decided that they wanted to be "in a relationship."  I think that's one of the ways young people refer to the arrangement.  He was anxious for us to meet her.  We had intended to go skating with them this evening, but the ice arena was closed to public skating, because of a hockey tournament.  We ended up at Friendly's for ice cream and get-acquainted conversation.


How strange....I have never heard of grandparents double dating with a grandson and his girlfriend.  Don't get me wrong here....I am certainly glad that he wanted us to meet her, and we were happy to do so.  I'm just feeling a bit amused.
