There be an old sayin' back home on the green isle, it be this: Jesus must have been Irish because he lived with his Mam until he was 33. Go ahead snicker if ye a mind to. I be feelin' very Irish this mornin' so gonna write that way. So here it is, meself grew up with me parents and went to university by livin' at home I did. It was the only way we could afford such, and even after the college degree was had, I got meself a job with a local paper and still lived at home until the ripe old age of 25! I know, you be thinkin' I be a mammy's boyo and well, I was her fav being the only boy, so I admit I probably was through no fault of me own since she coddled yours truly unabashedly.
BUT I wasn't the only one. I want to clear this up right now. And still there are many an Irish laddie between the ages of 25 and 34 who are still at home with their mammy. One and three of them actually. I know extraordinary, shocking, horrifying even. The stats say one in six Irishwomen still live at home as well, so before you women start on us, you too, are still with mammy. Learnin' to cook are we? Our excuse is it be Mam's home cookin' it is. Be hard to subsist on pub fare ye know with no money. But more in keepin' with the times it be more like the economic situation that keep us at home. Yes, we be waitin' out the recession we be. So what, we are enjoying the aromas wafting from the kitchen, we have ta eat ya know.
I noticed too, that we in Ireland are also recognised as a marriage poor country. Yes, it be true only 34 per cent of the Irish women are in a relationship. We made history as being the lowest rating in any other country we did! But with everyone stayin' at home where would you meet the future missus I wants to know? I will single handedly take this on now and say I think we Irish are smart to stay at home, enjoy Mam and Da and the cookin', and to wait the bad times out. Better be single and well fed than hungry and married. No job, small pay-cheques make for hard times. Therefore, I declare us the smartest people on earth to turn a bad time GOOD!
Go Mam!
