My dad also accompanied me to my first job when I was 14. I went from high school help to Assistant Manager to Manager. That manager who hired me, over the years, became one of the best friends I've ever had. He taught me sooo many things. His sense of humor was the best. When I had a problem, he'd smile and say, "Listen to your father kid...", then he'd give me his advice.
Things were different 50 years ago.
You can say that again. Boys were expected to meet the parents before taking a girl out, and girls were expected to be modest! Well, maybe 60 years ago...
