How did they get a hold of my boyfriend's mom?

Asked by Asduf (50) January 19th, 2011 from iPhone

I had never mentioned my boyfriend to my parents. They had met him incredibly briefly one time but never got his name. When I had moved in with him, they didn’t know that I was living with him until I told them. And, somehow (without me OR my boyfriend telling them) they got a hold of his mom and even took her to dinner at some point. His mom wouldn’t have any way of getting a hold of my parents because she’s not tech savvy and doesn’t speak too much english.

So, I’m wondering… How the heck did they manage to get a hold of his mom if they didn’t even know the name of my boyfriend? And, they had dropped me off at his place once, but how would they personally reach his mom. Even his mom didn’t tell us UNTIL my boyfriend confronted her about it.

It’s like unsolved mysteries.
