Mash Blind Date: 'I just don’t think it's normal to bring your mother on a date.' 'Be quiet and mind your manners'

In an unusual twist on the classic blind date, 28-year-old Sophie Rodriguez decides to bring her mother along for her date with 32-year-old Joshua Hudson, just to make sure she's making the right choice. The date quickly turns into a comedy of errors as Josh struggles to charm not just Sophie, but also her mother, Donna.

Josh was initially confused, expecting a solo date, but found himself facing the formidable Mrs. Rodriguez who guided the evening with her own agenda, demanding a mai tai and even quizzing Josh on his family medical history and fatherhood plans. Despite the awkwardness, Josh found Sophie natural and open, though her mother's presence made the experience akin to a driving test, complete with a clipboard for notes.

Memorable moments included Donna's inquiry into Josh's sperm count and her dominating presence during what should have been an intimate moment with Sophie. The evening ended with Josh deciding against a second date at their house, daunted by the prospect of further motherly oversight.

Sophie found the conversation warm and humorous, though her contributions were limited by her mother's constant interjections. She admired Josh's ability to withstand Donna's intense scrutiny and hoped for future encounters free from her mother's watchful eye. Donna's insistence on inspecting Josh's Instagram and discussing his STI status added to the evening's comedy.

Donna's first impression of Josh was less than favorable, criticizing his appearance and questioning his intentions. Her relentless interrogation covered everything from his choice of footwear to his underwear preferences, offering him her late husband's boxers as a solution to potential fertility issues. Despite her misgivings, Donna considered Josh a possible project, albeit not good enough for her daughter.

The article captures the hilarity and absurdity of a date where a mother plays an overly active role, leaving readers wondering if Josh will ever brave another encounter with Sophie.
