Patricia,

I’m going to have a serious problem soon. I have met this boy named Norman Claymore. He is Irish, like me. Well, he’s from Northern Ireland. Given the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland, we’re supposed to be bitter enemies to the outside world. But, how can I hate such a beautiful guy? Norman is smart, funny, and gorgeous. He treats me like a lady. Norman also likes me as a person. We’re going to have our first date on Saturday. So what is the problem? My parents. They are Catholic and Norman is protestant. That is going to create a problem. My mum and dad still hang on to the old beliefs of Ireland. I really Norman and I want to introduce him to my parents. Please help me out here. I am in a jam. Thanks.

Seriously in Need of Help
