Meeting the Parents Part II

Well, I really thought I'd have more funny and awkward moments to report that I do. So if you expected awkward parental conversation, this post isn't for you.

Nothing completely out of the ordinary happened. The fathers talked about motorcycles, and I think the mothers talked about teaching because both of them are teachers. I sat between the dads -- more exciting conversation happened. I do remember the BF's dad talking about my cat and saying he needed to get laid. (Captain Jack is my hilarious cat who is in retirement because the BF is deathly allergic to him. I think he lies about how deathly allergic he really is. Can't medicine solve that?)

So, we enjoyed nice "summer" Cleveland weather, food at Gamekeepers and two hours of conversation. The parents have now met. Case f'ing closed.

Meeting the Parents Part 1

The joint parental meeting is tomorrow. The first parental meeting. To say I'm a little nervous is an understatment. I even made plans with a friend to head to Room Service to check out the store and go to lunch, and then just realized this morning that I have the parental lunch meeeting tomorrow. (Sorry Michelle. Let's do it later?)

We are taking both sets of parents out to lunch to meet each other for the first time. I figured lunch is perfect, right? I figured it's less pressure and less intoxication. After delaying it for months (maybe even a year), I'm finally OK with them meeting. Truth be told, I really don't care if they meet either way. The BF is comfortable with it. So I guess I have to drink the Kool-aid too. Besides, I've never been to the restaurant and it's gotten the seal of approval from the Cleveland Foodie.

I tried to find some funny commentary on the web from other people when their parents first met, but I couldn't find a damn thing. Nothing funny happened! Nothing? Not even a humorous YouTube video! Well, there's a f'ing sign if there ever was one.

Feel free to share your stories and here's to fun and interesting weekend to all!
