you went on a date & brought your nephew along?
Of course.
When you test drive a car, do you drive on a private track, or do you drive on a regular street? You drive on a regular street so you’ll know what it is like.
When you go on a date, you can’t just go yourselves in a nice car to a nice place and be all sweet and cute–you fill the back of the minivan with screaming kids and moldy cheerios and then you see how you like each others company.
