Meet the Parents

People usually judge the seriousness of a relationship by asking if they have meet the parents. I have been guilty of doing that myself. 

I mentioned this to Bits and the next thing you know, I got an invitation to lunch with the parents. I hope he doesn't think that I am pressuring him to meet his parents. I was a bit surprised to find myself slightly nervous at the prospect of meeting his parents. I told my Koala family and they have varying response...

Uncle : Good.

Aunt: You getting married soon?

Bro: Finally.

Me: What if the parents don't like me?

Bro: Don't worry. Given his age I am sure the parents are so grateful you want him, they don't really care. 

Me: AIYOR!

I bought a bottle of whiskey for his dad (Russians love their brown liquor) and Gladioli for the mum. I don't even know there is such a flower until I ask Bits. They are actually very beautiful long stalk flowers now in the kitchen mantel. 

Long story short, they love me. The mum even made extra meatballs for me now. 

Now the next society milestone is "when are you getting married?'
