Two hikers were walking through a forest once when they encountered a large angry bear. They were about to run away when one hiker paused to change his sandals for a pair of sneakers.
"Are you crazy?" said the other hiker. "You'll never out-run the bear in these woods!"
"I don't have to out-run the bear," replied the first hiker. "I just need to out-run you."
That joke reflects my theory on dating girls with sisters. You don't have to be the perfect boyfriend. You just have to be slightly better than her sisters' significant others. In this case, even though she is a sweet motherly lady, Beth's mom is the bear and I only have to be a slightly better match for Beth than Noel is for Jeannette and Stephen is for Joli. (Beth's youngest sister is as yet boyfriend-less.)
Keep in mind that Stephen and Noel have a bit of an advantage: they're both Visayan. Plus, Stephen's Chinese and Noel is already married to Jeannette. I told Beth that joke today and asked her how I was doing with impressing her mom compared to her sisters' dudes.
She responded: "You better put on your sneakers."
