The text “Dating Your Mom,” is a satire. The text shows sarcasm and makes fun of a family’s love and how people treat their mother, for example he talks about looking your mother in the eyes and telling her she is beautiful. The story is also a large hyperbole it exaggerates your connection with your mother and what seeing your mother as beautiful and outgoing really is. Reading it may make some people squirm because it sounds inappropriate but that is what satires do. They make you feel a certain type of way which just may be disgust. I did not really laugh at this story but I did let go a chuckle once or twice.
