A young prince has today proven his credentials to his potential suitor’s family.
Phillip Hard (29) from our town’s Betoota Heights District did so early today, after turning up to his new girlfriend’s family home.
Rather than turn up empty handed like some entitled little shit, or with a case of tangerine XPAs like her girlfriend’s previous flame, Hard has pulled out the big guns.
Knowing how crucial the first meeting of the parents is, big Phil made the decision to rock up with a kilo of el-primo rump steaks.
“From the butcher too,” laughed Phil.
“Just to show I went to that extra effort,” he said.
“Winner winner beef dinner if you ask me,” laughed Phil, nudging his girlfriend Jess.
Speaking confidentially to The Advocate Jess explained that she didn’t actually drop any hints to Phil.
“These things are always a bit of a test you know,” said Jess.
“Wanted to see if he had the incentive to go and get some good juicy Aussie beef, and show my parents that he really means business and he’s serious about us.”
While not giving him the full tick of approval just yet, the parents of Jess have acknowledged that it was a pretty strong debut.
“Yeah, good on him,” said the stoic old boy who is still trying to manage his expectations after the last fella who came through the front door.
“Would not have been a good sign if he’d turned up with a few scrappy chicken skewers marinated within an inch of their life.”
“Shows that the young fella must come from good stock I reckon, which is obviously a good sign.”
“Promising start, let’s see how he handles himself when I need a hand with something on the house.”
“And then, if he progresses, to a one-on-one fish.”
More to come.
