Looks like somebody was paying attention in Sex Ed class.

Yes, that's right – a mortifyingly meddling mother has posted an advert looking for a date for her son on everyone's favourite second-hand-sofa site, Gumtree.

The post, placed under 'Jobs' in the Cambridge area, states she is 'looking for a female student partner on May Ball Cambridge'.

The mother then goes on to explain that her son is 'fully occupied' with his studies, so she is 'helping' (yeah, right) to find him a date.

Kids these days just do the damndest things, man. I thought it was an elaborate ploy to spell a chick's name out in a cake, intentionally humilate oneself on a stage with a bare-chested proclamation/question; but no, we had to break through the ceiling and head for heights better left unexplored...Big ups, bro. Big ups.
