The chapter opens with a discussion of the idea of getting married at an early age. It's normal for young people to think about marrying someone before they start dating them, but it's also normal for older people to wonder if they want to marry someone too. The narrator tells us that the problem is that the guy isn't "in a tight spot" , and that's why he's asking his parents to marry him. He's not in a "tight spot" yet, but he needs to marry his parents before he starts hanging out with other young people. The chapter ends with the narrator asking his fiancee if she's ever been to her parents' house, and she tells him that she hasn't, but that she'll call him later. She's glad to see him, because she wants to see his soon-to-be-granddaughter.
