The kit-n-kaboodle

"So, is HIM pressuring you about marriage?" my Dad asks me tonight while making pot-stickers.  
"AHHHH!  NO!" I almost yelped.  "You and mom are the only ones who bring it up with me all the time".  

Quit it.  Quit asking.  We don't talk about it, we have never talked about it and I don't forsee it coming up in the near future either.  We have got to nip all the questions, nip them in the bud.  

HIM's family came in town last week.  I hate meeting parents.  Anyone's parents, boyfriend, girlfriend, guyfriend, whatever.  But I sucked it up and met them and they are really nice.  The whole family is really nice.  I mean really nice, genuinely nice.  I mentioned this to my brother.  "I think you'll find that most families are really nice.  I think it's just ours that is different" he said.  I guess so.  

Just how nice can I train myself to be?

Fake it till you make it baby. And I hope you are ready to be faking for quite some time.

Well, I'd say that we're OPEN about what we are, whereas most families just pretend to be nice.

What you see is what you get with us.
