Dowry Questionnaire

Dowry Questionnaire

“Oh Daddy, you wouldn’t do that….would you?”

When the teenage boys got ‘wheels’ and started asking my daughters for dates, I threatened to require each boy to complete a questionnaire so I could check his credentials.

I didn’t. But #3 Daughter never forgot.  And when she accepted his invitation, she helped Jack Wood write the questionnaire he presented when they announced their engagement.
