2.23.2004 | Meet the Parents

Yes, it’s time.

The boy met my mom last night. She was on her best behavior. He was a bit nervous, and he asked if there were any cultural customs he needed to know about prior to the meeting. She’s pretty americanized, so there’s nothing especially odd besides the fact that she’s a complete whackjob, but I digress…

This weekend is my turn. I will meet up with the boy in Atlanta. Later, I will meet both sets of parents and two out of three sisters. Nervous? Yes. However, the boy said that he would take any blame in case I set the home on fire or lose the pet. Love him.

Edited to add: Mom has confirmed that he’s “very nice.” That was followed up with “how old is he,” “how much money does he make,” and “well, that doesn’t matter as long as he’s nice.” Ugh.
