We were having our usual Sunday dinner when my parents dropped a bombshell.
"Miley," my dad said in a serious tone. "Your mother and I have been thinking."
"Oh boy, here we go," I mumbled.
"We've decided," he continued, ignoring my sarcasm, "that unless you're married by your 35th birthday, you won't see a cent of our inheritance."
"What?" I blurted out. "You can't be serious!"
"We are," my mom chimed in. "We're not getting any younger, honey. We want to see you settled and happy. And we want grandchildren while we're still young enough to enjoy them."
