That's What She Said Facebook Status

It's been awhile since I've shared dinnertime conversations with you and tonight's was a doozy. I had made bacon cheeseburgers that happen to be so thick that by the time I put all the toppings including the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on a bakery bun it was HUGE. My son Steven noticed the size of my sandwich and wondered out loud,
"I can't wait to see how you're going to get that to fit in your mouth!"
"That's what she said!" David snapped back in a laughing tone.
"Oh hell wait, did I just say that about my mother?" he moaned as he hit his head with the palm of his hand.
Now I have heard this statement several times in the house, one of the benefits of having youth in the home is one gets to hear all the new sayings. I have lived through many catch  phrases that has come and gone including 'your mama' 'door knob' 'speak to the hand' oh the list can go on and now the new one.
I had no idea what it meant.
But now I do.
Any time someone says something that can be mistaken for sexual undertones you can say,
"That's what she said."
Go out shopping and see large Christmas ornaments and exclaim,
"Look at the size of those balls!"
Don't be surprise if you hear someone in the store say,
"That's what she said."
Steven shared one with me about a female friend who said,
"I take whatever I can get."
to which a male friend said,
"That's what she said."
I asked if she was the male friend's girlfriend.
"No mom, she's single."
Now being from the stone age, being single can still mean you have a boyfriend, you're just not married or engaged yet.
Stupid me.
Tonight I learned that single means just that: there are no attachments to another.
And how did this come about?
Facebook.
Yes facebook has not only taken over our cyber lives but it has now inched it's way into the mainstream of  relationships and how they are perceived.
Case in point: In David's communication class, the professor asked how you can't tell if a person is married.  Some said to look for the wedding ring, and other methods that were used before facebook. But the professor told them that now all one has to do is look at the person's facebook status: single, married, in a relationship, it's complicated (always wondered what that meant), engaged, in an open relationship, widowed, separated, divorce, in a civil union, and in a domestic partnership.
Which got me to thinking about how there is no more asking a friend of a friend about someone you are interested in, just check their facebook status! Wondered what happen to that old flame, just check his/her facebook status! Thought that person might be gay? Check his facebook status! Wonder if they are swingers? You got it, check their facebook status!
But what about those who don't have facebook?
Maybe they are the smart ones......
