Hi Jenn,
Have you met the new neighbor yet?
He is so funny. He is also very smart and has traveled all over the world.
He has a great job, and I think he is SINGLE! I think he is so handsome!
Susy, I haven’t met him yet.
I saw him by the pool. Do you seriously think he is handsome?
I think you need to wear eye glasses. He has a face only a mother could love…
You are so mean!
Whatever! Gotta go. Bye.

Meaning: A face only a mother could love means an unattractive face.
