6. Yeah, you're right. I'll do what my parents did in every case except my father on meeting my (future) wife.

I'll keep my fat mouth shut, as I did with his girlfriends who I didn't actually like.

(After I was married to my wife for a while, my father came out to California to visit, and spending some time with my wife, proceeded to tell her about all of my girlfriends since high school and why he didn't like them. He never mentioned not liking them while I was dating them, or even afterwards. It's one of my favorite stories about him, that he went through my love life with my wife.)
