Mrs. Rogers, may I have a moment? I respect you and I want you to know that. That's why despite being trained to only speak to the man of the house about such serious matters, I'm speaking to you because I understand you and your husband are equals.
I spoke with Cindy and she said that she might like to go with me on a date but before I ask her again with a plan for the date, I wanted to ask your permission. Is it okay with you and your husband if I court your daughter?
I know this is a big question and you might want to discuss it amongst yourselves before responding because I haven't graduated from the program yet, but it would mean the world to me if you would consider. Thank you for your time, ma'am.
