Fake Engagement Ring to Avoid the 3rd Degree at Thanksgiving

The Daily Mail claims some women are buying fake engagement rings in order to avoid the 'Thanksgiving Third Degree' from their parents. Heather, a lawyer from New York, bought a $30 ring and says, "I couldn’t take my mom's nagging anymore,' she said. 'I had been dating Tom for two years and it was driving my mother crazy that I was already 30 and we weren’t engaged yet.

I knew that if I wasn't engaged by the time I saw her, it would be a weekend of more nagging hell. I got a fake ring for 30 bucks just to shut her up. It actually worked and it turned into a really great visit!"

Ladies, have YOU ever resorted to something like this? Years ago, I was at a wedding sitting next to my grandma when she elbowed me and said, "Ha! You're next!" when they were doing their vows.
Later, at a funeral, I said the same thing to her. She stopped bugging me after that. - Alan
