My [very strong willed] mom [who has always worn in the pants in my family] just called & told me that my fifteen year old brother and my fifteen year old female cousin sincerely said to her that girls cannot ask boys out or ask them to a dance.  This is my attempt to correct this situation…what would you do?

Note: I make reference to the fact that I gave him a bell hooks book back in October that he still hasn’t read. Also, Nancy is the coach of his entire speech & debate team.
