   Henry had a good job. But he didn't have a girlfriend. "Why don't you have a girlfriend?" his mother asked. "You need a girlfriend, so you can get married and have kids. That way I'll have some grandchildren 1." Henry said, "Do you want me to have a girlfriend, or do you want you to have grandchildren?" His mom said, "Both! So I'm going to find you a girlfriend. I have plenty of friends who have unmarried 2 daughters." A week later, she said, "I've found the perfect girl for us. Mary is your age. She has a good job. Her mom says she's looking for a husband." Henry said, "Forget it! I'm not going to date someone who's desperate 3 to get married. She probably isn't married yet because there's something wrong with her." His mom said, "Really? Maybe there's something wrong with you too. Maybe two wrongs can make a right."
