10. Tell 'em you're pregnant...
let them scream for a second, and then tell 'em "not really...I'm just not coming to dinner tonight". It won't seem so bad after that. ;)

11. Last time I admitted to not doing the dishes for a few days
they staged an intervention. I just couldn't do the pregnant story.

20. Oh dear
One time my mom came to my apartment, and she went into the bathroom. She almost cried when she saw...gasp...soap scum in the shower. I swear, she was really upset. I spent the next hour scrubbing the shower to make her feel better

9. While I'm at it
I will swear to never produce grandchildren for them. And if by some miracle, I have a spawn, I will not let them meet the creature.

16. Get arrested for sedition. Or reinlist in the convent.
Whatever it takes. I, too, know the sting of Dinner With Mom.

Of course, if you want to go with the 'highly improbable' hot date scenario... I can help.
